Hi Bob,



 I got out my trusty keyboard and did a little searching in your area for steel suppliers.  I found one that looks pretty good about 30 miles from you.  I don't have any personal experience with these guys, but I liked their web site.  You might drive over and take a look or give them a call.

 in case  you are interested, my major search that got this jewel was something like "80513 steel angle" on Yahoo local search engine



 good luck,



 Paul

		  I’ve been shopping around for angle for this brake but haven’t had much luck finding 8’ pieces. Further, the 4’ pieces I’ve found at Lowe’s go for about twenty five bucks. Any suggestions where to locate this stuff?

  

 Thanks in advance!

Bob,  

   

When he accesses his e-mail, Dave would tell you that he found ¼” angle at a junk yard for pennies on the dollar! I, however, found mine at a metal supply shop and paid 3 times more than I should have.

Hey Bob,



I'm happy to answer questions about my brake. Feel free to email me directly. 



You will not find the materials needed at a retail store like Lowe's or Home Depot. You'll have to look for a metal recycling/supply yard. I found 3 suppliers right here in little-old Temple, Tx. 



I recently bent the 10 foot long .032 spar cap angles and my center spar webs. I've bent up to .040 with good results. I've even bent "Z" angles. Sometimes I've had to use the old brain to figure out how to bend certain parts. So far, so good.
