Huge stockpile of Reynolds 531 available near York

Roger Titchmarsh of Ashton Trading Company, based in Elvington, near York, has 'large quantities' of all of the sizes listed below. He's happy to sell in small amounts to homebuilders, and might also be interested in shifting larger bulk supplies - any manufacturers out there looking for materials?

Telephone 01759 318 562.

Sizes available, all in inches, gauge. I converted the diameters and sheet metal gauge to mm, too, for us metric types, but my conversion table only did 18g and 16g, not 17g. I'd guess 17g = about 1.45mm. Anyone know better?

5/16 24g (7.94mm x 0.70mm)
3/8 20g (9.53mm x 1.01mm)
0.542 20g (13.77mm x 1.01mm)
5/8 20g (15.88mm x 1.01mm)
3/4 20g (19.05mm x 1.01mm)
1/2 18g (12.7mm x 1.31mm)
5/8 18g (15.88mm x 1.31mm)
7/8 18g (22.23mm x 1.31mm)
3/4 17g (19.05mm x 1.45mm)
7/8 17g (22.23mm x 1.45mm)
1 17g (25.4mm x 1.45mm)

The 5/16th tubing might be fun for anyone with time on their hands looking to make a Moultonesque space-frame...
