Title: Best place to order hvac thin stainless sheet metal?
Post by: NoPistons! on December 20, 2009, 12:54:16 AM

I searched.  I did not find what i was looking for.

I need ducting for this nifty radiator/intercooler/oil cooler setup i'm wanting to build next year.

This is of none of your concern probably.

Just show me the metal.

small amounts of sheet metal can be had in a pinch and even faster by using old cookie sheets.. just clean off the coating and kick ass at will.

CPU shells are nice to especially the textured paint ones, they are perfect for making single/double DIN gauge plates.

For not-so-tall sections, you can go to a local roofing or window supplier and probably get stainless flashing rolls.
