How much do you need? I've got a previously "loved" piece a bit under 2m. It has a brushed look between the top and bottom ridges, rather than the grooved look that I've also seen around.

I know it is not the same stuff, but Bunnings sell Al angle and sheets of varying size. Perhaps they might have something to suit?

Various sizes available up to, if I recall correctly, about 35mm x 35mm; larger than that, I suggest a proper sheet metal merchant, or ditto if you were looking for > a couple of metres.

Capral is probably the best bet, try the off cuts section.
Look in the phone book for your nearest outlet.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

Going by memory here, there's a large supplier in Crockford St South Melbourne, about number 70-80. Can't recall the name though.
