Hi,
I've made a picture (sort of) of what I want.
For the purpose of fixing a belly pan and for various other DIY jobs,
Where can I get a strip of metal with pre drilled holes in it?
In similar way to the Mecano things of the past.
I've tried B&Q and also ebay, but I don't know what to search for apart from metal with holes.
Anyone, whats the correct word?

Why don't you do the job properly and make up a bracket with some plain sheet cut and bent to suit? You won't need anything special to make a simple bracket. Or are a pair of snips, hack saw drill, maybe a file, paper and pencil out of the question? Oh an old filing cabinet can be useful in these situations too
Suppose if you must resort to the sort of methods normally associated with cheap and nasty bolt on tat for cars why not try Halfrauds? ____________________ 70's & 80's 4 stoke Yamaha Guru and professional workshop dweller. |

Drilling a bolt out isn't the easiest thing in the world. It's a far-cry from cutting and drilling a strip of metal for a specific purpose. A small vice, some tinsnips, a small hammer, a centre-punch and a cheap battery drill is all you require for many jobs. I have a small workshop that's better equipped than most diy'ers but that's all I would use to do that job, and many others like it. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'
