need help to find some aluminium strips / flat bar

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> Hey all.

am working on a project and need to find some aluminium strips / flat bar

Bunnings have a decent product range (they have the large stand shown at the bottom of the following link on display)

http://www.rcr.com.au/metalmate/catalogue.php?subid=9

This display does not have the size I need for one of the strips.

I need ~20mm (or 3/4") wide by 1mm thick (this is critical) by at least a meter or so long

Bunning have the same thing but the strip is 1.6mm thick which isn't suitable (I've tried)

They have the 25mm wide by 1mm thick but no smaller widths in this thickness.

Anyone have any sources for this stuff? I'm in Melb if it helps.

I have always used Capral. They have a good range and I think extrude profiles for many of the retailers.

Find a local sheet metal shop and get them to guillotine some strips off some sheet.

I haved used Capral too...a lot more variety than Bunnings and a lot cheaper.

Wot Barry said. Bunnies can sell you a small sheet of 1mm ally & a pair of tin snips.

Road signs are too thick & too hard. Ditto Boeing jets:p
