This is a long shot but I am after some perforated metal (round holes, as small as possible) for my speaker panel. Check out the pic of a RoadBlasters machine in this thread I am trying to replicate:

I have found plenty of UK manufacturers, but they all sell in sheets of 2m x 1m, which is pretty expensive (I had quotes of around 65quid!). I wonder if anyone in the UK has any of this lying around that they would sell me? I need a piece 600mm x 160mm.
Cheers :)

Don't they have smaller sheets at a hardware store near you? Maybe gutter guard would work?

Unfortunately 'real' hardware stores are becoming few and far between in the UK. We seem to mainly have awful large chain DIY stores which don't ever have anything remotely unusual.
I'm sure there are some around tho, I will have to do some searching...

What really irritates me about the UK diy chain stores is that none of them stock T-Moulding. All they seem to have is that awful iron-on edging stuff. Yet sometimes they use T-Moulding on their own counter tops.
