I keep trying to think why I would need any of this because its a good deal but I can't think of anything

I'll be putting it on eBay soon . . . I don't want to . . . but funds are required.

I've spoken to one of my contacts, he'll let me know.

How easy is it to cut this stuff?

Ask Phil - he has an appropriate sized cutting device at his work!!!

Best done by a Guiliotine if available.

I've cut it using an "Evo" saw (basically a circular saw with appropriate blade) which was quite simple - albeit noisy.

I've also cut it using a 230mm Angle Grinder - although, being ally it tends to clog and separate instead of spark and cut.

Most panels on the MKB BBQ were cut using a grinder.

I suppose a reciprocating saw could also be used . . but you'd need a blade with the correct TPI to chew though 6mm.

I've got the perfect project for a sheet of that (although probably only half a sheet is required), but there's no way I can afford £65 just to tart up my tools trolley!!

Need any spare car parts?

Still have some evo blades at the barn but not sure what condition they are in
