Need some angle iron (metal or aluminum)

[RangerGuy]

Anybody got a short piece of 4" angle iron lying around they want to get rid of? I only need 2-3' feet of it.

Best deal is probably old bedframes you can get at the restore/recycle place.

What thickness? Might have a chunk laying around.

 

If not, metal supermarkets will have something.

[RangerGuy]

I'd say no less than 1/16" or 1/8. It's just for mounting my quickset blind to the lund brackets

I think that Canadian tire sells 3 foot pieces of angle iron.

Thnx

 

If I can't find any I'll have to hit MetalSuper Market

Try Bayview Boats - North end of the Southbound side of Gasoline Alley (he builds huge custom aluminums). I picked up some plate from him VERY CHEAP$$$$$. Bring small bills - he didn't have any change when I was there so he cut the price even more! Now I feel guilty!

What do you mean by 4"? Is that 4" x 4" x 3ft. I probably have 2" and maybe 3" but 4" is getting big for angle iron.

I have from 1x1x1/8 up to 8x8x1...up to a hundred feet of each size...what do you want

 

edit, you can't get 1/8, it starts at 1/4 for 4x4. I can bend the 1/8 though

i have scraps but I don't think you want to come to mississauga for a 5$ L bracket.

For that size your pretty well limited to a place like Metal Supermarket or The Metal Place on steeles in Brampton, may have a off cut. Not sure where your located?

[RangerGuy]

Ok so I just remeasured the mounting bases for my blind.

 

The angle iron would have to be 4 X 3 inches. Here is a pic of the bracket.

 

It's kind of hard to explain but this bracket is meant to be bolted to bench seats or a raised deck of some kind.

It allows the blind to fold down towards the bow for driving and storage. My plan is to get 4 L shaped pieces of the appropriate size

and bolt them to the lund sport brackets then bolt this to the L shaped piece so I can fully remove the blind in fishing season

 

I'm thinking it might just be easier to take a drive to the metal place with bracket in hand.

4" x 4" extruded aluminum angle goes down to 1/8".

 

 

Thats an extrusion, not an angle

[RangerGuy]

I think I may need a different mounting method, I better fully assemble this thing before I decide on how I'm gonna mount it.. I looks like it's going to be way to high.

Thats what I was thinking. Mine is mounted to the front deck, and rear benches. I don't have a quickset.....same deal, only I made mine. I think its better myself. A lot cheaper, that's for sure!

Got my material from Steel SuperMarket in Vaughan.

 

Yeh, I would have prefer'd to build my own, but time is closing and I just don't have the time to build one. It took me way to long to get my truck all fixed up this year

 

 

Thanks for the help everyone
