    Aluminum Sheet

    Anyone know where I can pick up 1/8" aluminum sheeting in the Boston area? Bonus: on a Saturday? Tried HD and Lowes but their selection is limited and mostly steel.

    Looking to fab a fender eliminator and I'll need a sheet about 1' x 2' or slightly larger (integrated FE and underseat exhaust bracket).

    I appreciate it!

    Yes, it does seem large but I'd like to cut out a single piece unit that includes a wrap-around exhaust bracket (it's an undertail exhaust) to replace the OEM bracket. So basically a single piece strap with a plate holder bent to shape. There will be a lot of left-over material after I cut out the pattern but it's the cleanest way for me to do it.

    Admiral metals in Woburn, but no saturdays.
    Haverhill steel has Saturday hours, but their non-ferrous selection is limited.

    Can order online at metalsdepot.com Or central steel in sommerville is what we use.
