There are many suppliers over here, but I am not sure about the situation in Belgium. I gather that Dutch model engineers have few problems, so there must be suppliers somewhere near to you. Wilfried may know of some, and if he doesnt spot this topic, I suggest you send him an email.

Where would I go, to get the either a piece of tube, or the plate to make it. In this godforsaken place, nobody seems to sell Cu-plate that is thicker than 1mm, or tubing that has an OD larger than 1 inch... Thanks, Patrick MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
