Hi! Jeremey
I used a length of 1.5" "T" section aluminium from Eltheringtons, Dansom
Lane, Hull They specialise in Double Glazing Units.

Subject: Straight edge
I'm sure there's an easy answer to this question, and as a non-engineer I'm
going to kick myself when I see it, but here goes...
I've been looking for a suitable straight edge. As I understand it, I need
one at least about 1.5m long for jobs like the rudder hinges, so the 1m
aluminium rulers I've found are no good (although no doubt they're good for
other jobs). All the bar, tube, angle, box, strip, channel, t-section, and
i-beam steel and aluminium I've found in DIY and trade shops are not true
when I look along them, so they're no good.
Ideally I'd like it to be light and slim for ease of handling
Any suggestions on what to use and where to get it?
Thanks and regards,
Jeremy
