    G'day Ray,
    Not sure what size you need but I've got some 3/4 AF already bored to just over 11mm, it's all yours if that helps.
    Cheers,
    Greg.

    Ooops, my mistake sorry should have read slower.
    Had it in my head that the extra half inch was to allow for cuts to make 6 x 1" pieces.
    Offer still stands though if it helps.
    Cheers,
    Greg.

    Greg many thanks for the offer length would be fine hole size to big as I'd need to tap it for a threaded rod.

    So I'll pass

    Edcon will cut to size and would nearly bet my balls there cheaper than the offcut bloke,he makes a good profit on what he sells,his stuff is good for anyone without access to a supplier but apart from that its a bit dear.

    That's confidence...

    I know you are in Sydney, but if you get stuck George White carries a pretty full range, and will cut to size.
