If you can do with a bit less than 2.5mm then nick some of those brass door push plate things :nonchalance:
Aluminium Warehouse used to sell brass, but I can't find it on the site now. Might be worth asking them anyway?
It's ages since I've used them but Metal Supermarket at Coventry may be worth a try.
Nope 2.5mm is the lowest can go. Think I bought some the last brass AW had.?Quote:

Mind you wherever you go it will be expensive. Last 1/2 sheet I bought, 4' x 4' cost £120 in 1/8" thick, hate to guess what it is now.
Forgot to mention you could ask Metal Stockists: ASC Metals Lincoln Ltd. - Metal stockholders for East Midlands/North of England
I ordered lots of aluminium from them recently, don't know what they're like with small orders?
Edit: Oh John S beat me to it there..
M-machine ...
M-Machine Metals and Engineering
theirs an online catalogue , but better asking or ring , they have far more than whats in the catalogue too , so just ask and they will get it if not in stock
If you want nice engraving use compo brass, that's the stuff the clockmakers use to cut their tiny cogs and stuff out of, cuts like a dream compared to the usual.
Cheers Robin did know that and actually the cheapest price I've had so far is from a clock supplier.! £85 inc vatQuote:
