I'm after some ABS laminate and Smooth U Channel extrusions

Any good places to buy, having little luck finding sellers

Aalco do all sorts of Aluminium extrusions for body building and van racking etc.  Take a look at their body building catalogue.  They have branches other than Southampton.  I think there are a few further north.  They might be able to help you with the laminate as well.

Or, if you are local, we could hijack an Acado van together, I'II keep the Sprinter chassis cab and you could have the fridge body for extrusions?  Although most might be galv channel.

I might be getting one sometime this year and putting a tipper body on it, never thought of chopping the fridge body up and selling the extrusions on here, but it might be an idea.

More often I use these guys though:

But they are more metal stock holders, but friendly company and do some strange stuff as well as some Stainless and Aluminium.

Aalco mainly do aluminium and stainless.

But as I say, the Acado van is the cheapest option, if I bring two jacksaws, we can take turns in chopping the body up and putting it into binbags.

No laminate (unless I'm missing something stupid, which is possible)
