    Blimey - why 7075..? (I know, I know, strength... but really? 7075..? Heh - why not..!)

    I buy in small quantities (nowhere near those thicknesses) and find that prices vary quite a bit amongst suppliers - I bought 5 x 4mm sheets (500x150mm) a while back from metalweb for around £100 but the last quote I had (from metalsupermarket) was £37.50 (+ 20%VAT) per 500x200x4mm sheet. Big difference, huh?

    Recently I've been using these guys for my 6082: https://www.smithmetal.com/smiths-manchester.htm

    (They're happy to supply smaller quantities, 6082 is available in sheet down to a thickness of 1mm, the depot is local-ish and prices are decent - what's not to like?)

    You could give 'em a shout and see what they say.
