Title: Angle iron source?
Post by: 8683jb on March 13, 2018, 06:04:11 PM

Does anyone know of a source for this profile angle iron? I need it for the rear corners and a couple of other places. I’ve checked steel supply places locally with no luck. Thanks.

That is a formed angle off a press brake. Most larger sheet metal shops can make it up.

Thanks Steve. I lost access to the press brake when the owner passed away - rather inconsiderate, I thought. I was thinking maybe someone would stock it. I'll check into a metal fabrication shop. I appreciate the help.

I have taken angle iron and with a little grinder work you can make it look like formed angle.
