    They have thin rolled aluminum at TSC, and I thought some CTs.
    If you're anywhere near KW I'd give you some.

    Otherwise, best chance is just to call up a welder.
    I wave at kids as I pass them in a hope that there's a gray-pants-wearing, beige-volvo-driving accountant somewhere in the future that dies everytime I do.

    Seach for your local metal supermarket, most of them have a shear and will cut to size or if your lucky you will find something close enough in the cut offs section

    Look for busted road signs
    I made some brackets from a spare DANGER High Voltage Overhead Wires sign.

    If you want precisely sized stuff of whatever exact alloy type you need, check these guys out:

    They have a location in Scarborough.

    Edit ah too slow, Johnny mentioned them first

    I have 8 6'x6' sheets of 1/4 6061 T6 here at my shop, but if you need 3/8" Metal Supermaket's will have it and can cut it to any size you need...Or like I said they usually have tons of cut offs on their cut off shelf

    I have lots of 1/4" off cuts I could shear to size for you. I know I have a 3/8" sheet out there, not sure about off cuts.

    I might have some kicking around the shop. Problem is I am working in Smiths Falls right now.

    I'll have a look when I get back in a couple days.
