[Wanted] - UK source for metal bases

[vexillia]

I am after some 17 gauge galvanised steel bases for ADLG/DBx etc. Does anyone know a good UK supplier?

I have tried both Precision Wargames Supplies & Supplies for Wargamers. They are great but their bases are a lot thinner than 17 gauge. When I search online the firms only offer tolerances of about 2 mm which is no good at all.

Any help gratefully received.

No is the simple answer.

However some suggestions.

2 Precision bases stuck together?

Or try model engineering forums or live steam model railway people.

Can you buy the 17 gauge sheet and then cut it diwn with a dremel or similar?

By 17 gauge do you mean 17 SWG ie: 1.422 mm ?

Oops! I should have said 19 gauge (1.158 mm). Sorry.
