[sdiy] Source of anodised rack pannels (or cut but undrilled sheet) in uk?

[Steve Lenham]

Hi Julian,

Any suppliers to the broadcast industry will have them (like Studiospares, 
as Tony already suggested).

There is also Canford (£8.06 + VAT for 10 off, black anodised also 
available, carriage free if you order via the website):

http://www.canford.co.uk/commerce/productdetails.aspx?productid=16-903

or Holt (£7.79 + VAT for 10 off, and they are the nice extruded panels with 
stiffening ribs):

http://www.holtbs.co.uk/blpanel1.html

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Steve L.

Anyone know of a source of anodised 3u 19" rack blanks (mounting holes only) 
in the uk?

I specificaly want anodised, not powdercoated.  Black or plain (silver) are 
both good with me though.

Best ive found so far are vero, via farnell, but theyre probably going to 
work out over 15quid each, once ive got VAT on there too.

Failing that, im fine to cut the mounting holes, so blank, accuratly cut 
alumnium would do, but i do need it to be accurate, availible in small runs 
(aprox 10) and have a spotless finish.

I always seem to miss on one of those points : (

Any ideas?

Cheers, Julian
