Stock on hand
Stock is always on the shelf. Ring or send a message to check what's in for your job — or bring in your own material and we'll bend that instead.
The honest limit
Above 127 mm we cannot help, and we will say so on the phone rather than after you have driven out. Thin wall against a tight radius is the other one to watch — bring the numbers and we will tell you whether it will wrinkle before anything is clamped up.
