    Hi,

    I’m wondering if anyone can point me to a UK supplier of ‘y’section aluminium extrusions that manufacturers use for wheelhouse windows? The one pictured, or very similar, is what I’m after.

    I’ve a bender so was going to make a couple of die’s to bend up my own frames.

    Check if there is an Alusuisse agent around; that profile looks very similar to one they have.
