RangerGuy Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Best deal is probably old bedframes you can get at the restore/recycle place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 What thickness? Might have a chunk laying around. If not, metal supermarkets will have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerGuy Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'd say no less than 1/16" or 1/8. It's just for mounting my quickset blind to the lund brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I think that Canadian tire sells 3 foot pieces of angle iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptackle Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 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!

ctered Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited August 24, 2012 by Dara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krixxer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 i have scraps but I don't think you want to come to mississauga for a 5$ L bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thnx If I can't find any I'll have to hit MetalSuper Market 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerGuy Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) 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.

Dara Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 4" x 4" extruded aluminum angle goes down to 1/8". Thats an extrusion, not an angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerGuy Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 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! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerGuy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
