Thread: Where to buy these materials?

Piece 1:





Piece 2:



I thought Hompro would be the place but it was useless. A massive selection of tools and screws n bolts but not one piece of material.

Walked down the main-street of a typical town with its array of tool shops and again it was all tools, door hinges, plumbing pipe, but nothing resembling such materials.

Is there some sort of depot or shop that I'm missing out on? Anyone know where I can buy such stuff in BKK?

Cheers.

Global House is the best building supply store I've found in Thailand.

I don't know why the ? marks are there but the link still works.

did you look outside the main store? at the local global the steel and associated components is in a separate warehouse "out the back"

What are you trying to do? Look like brackets, fairly easy to make up by any metal work shop - cheap too.

Cheers. Seems they have stores everywhere except Bangkok.

It's actually to mod the rear of a motorbike I'm working on.

Will have to try a metal workshop if I happen to pass any.

Thai Watsadu. Biggest DIY suppliers around. Bigger then Home Pro et al used by most of the Thai builders.

Only problem is finding a branch near you.

Click on the link. Its in Thai. In the top red bar, third from the right is a list of branches with maps.

Installing rear rocket launchers I see.

Choice idea.

I have never found those type of items to be available here. Normally, they make them themselves. Of course, they won't be zinc plated. You can get fairly thick L shaped aluminum at window supply shops. I have used it to mount turn signals. Lighter too!

Any local machine will make these parts for you for 50 baht. I had some stainless steel brackets made for my motorcycle in a shop near my house. Show them the same photo and they will build you the exact part and cheap. Probably in a hour or less
