Fabrication bits and bobs

[swinny]

Where do people get there bits and pieces when fabricating? Hinges, brackets, tie down points etc

 

I don’t mean consumables I mean the actual parts etc

 

I’ve asked a couple of people for a price on putting some barn doors on a trailer of mine behind the tractor but they’ve not got back to me.

 

Would be looking to get some hinges so I can make some barn doors that swing right around and lock in up the side of the trailer etc….

 

 

If there one thing I’ve learnt is you can always rely on yourself and not others 😔

 

I am More than capable of these works just short on time but will have to make some 😁

I would think any agricultural store would be a first port of call. May not be the cheapest option, but should be able to get everything in one go. My local one is torne valley.

You could also have a look in screwfix and toolstation.

I get it off eBay. It was less than the other suppliers with postage etc. That was for 4 barn door hinges.

The brundles paper catalogue is like getting the Argos when you were 12.

eBay. Brundles are also useful.

 

 

You might as well make time to do it yourself, otherwise it’ll never be done just how you want it.  A pound saved is a pound earned and good fabrication isn’t cheap. Bad fabrication isn’t cheap either when it lets you down.
