What was the damage?
I have been quoted £40 for a 6m length of 20mm
And £42 for a 6m length of 25mm.
Only tried one stock holder so not sure if this is good or not.

Out of interest, any idea What total length is needed?

Think thats not a bad price at all! What wall is that for?

I was £170 (and that was mates rates), for

1 x 6.1m length 19mm CDS (think the wall is 3mm)
1 x 6.1m length 25mm CDS (think the wall is 3mm)
1x 6.1m length 33.7mm ERW tube x 3mm
1 x 6.1m length 40x3mm flat bar
1 x 6.1m length 25x3mm flat bar

I did two of my wishbones yesterday, and to be honest they aren't that bad. Just get the jig spot on, and you're laughing.

It was £50 + very annoying tax for 25mm x 6m, 2mm wall CDS.

I gave up asking after that as I reckon by the time i've made all the jigs, mucked about with loads of silly angles, brought and machined the threaded bits and bunged the pro welder in the unit next door a few quid for tigging them up they'll probably only be 100 quid cheaper than buying them in. Not to mention the many hours involved.
