B&Q do but its woefully expensive.

I get mine from this place - http://www.frankhughes.co.uk/

There must be somewhere similar local to you.

I would guess you'll need more than a metre as well?

Rob, what size bar do you need? 20mm x 20mm?

If you fancy a drive to Hinckley, I could get you some tomorrow.

Alright, i'll get a length for you. I'm about tomorrow night til about 8pm, it used to take me 20 mins to get from Snowdome to my house as a guide for you, my house is literally 1 min drive from the A5/A47 roundabout.

20 x 20 mild steel yeah?

You sure you want metal BAR? not box section? To get penetration on 20x20 solid bar you'll be making your chassis into swiss cheese
