Just thought i would post this for anybody who lives near west london and is after some blue band tube(bs1387 48.3mm x 3.2mm x 7.5m).
I bought some today from a company called FAYS METALS(0208 993 883 and ask for dave) in acton,got them for £34 a lenght(i got 12),now for the good bit,they said as long as you order more than 2 they can do it for the same price ,thats £4.50 inc vat a metre which is a bloody good price coincidering most firms want £6.50+ a metre.

Just say Ian from london underground told you about it.

I just bought 19.5 metres and paid £91


Les.

Nick (tangoman) can get it for £28/ length

Anybody want some EN10219 S275 48.3mm x 3.0mm x 7.2m for £22.00 per length?

I am lead to believe EN10219 is a more common version of "blue band steel tube".

Paul that just wiped the smile off Les's post

Sorry Les, I should have said something before.

I don't usually offer to supply material as I can get asked to cut to specific lengths, pop in the odd bend, birdsmouth a few ends and wave the mig torch over the whole lot and hey presto a cage for the cost of the material!

The pipe deal is as from any stockholder, out of the rack onto your transport, cut in half as a special favour if you ask nicely.

I was originally quoted over £500 for the pipe, but got it from the Pipe Centre here in Swindon thanks to Biasbilt. A friend of mine has a pikey wagon and they cut the lengths in half for me. Considering what I was originally qouted, the eventual price I paid was peanuts


Les.

a mate ordered some for his range rover and for me today, we managed to get it for £19 a length, 7 metre, blue band 48.3mm,

Should be good, thats from a contact at IS&G in suffolk.

seems prices have come down a little in the past few years.
