Chequer Plate

Is there anywhere online (or in Mid Wales) to get sheets of chequer plate from? I'm after knocking up a couple of door cards...

Cheers!

Get it from an engineer shop it will probably be cheaper.

i think the moral of the storey is dont buy it from the landrover place, buy it from the steel stockholder or a small company who uses a lot of it.
(8x4 cost me £75) didnt think that was bad.

I have a local scrappy near me who often has big bits in. I got 4 8x4 sheets for £90 !
I often get smaller bits for a couple of quid. Once they get to know you you get a better price !
