Modding Hardware and Software suppliers
Re: Modding Hardware and Software suppliers
I buy my diamond plate from my local car modding supplier. So you can always try that. You guys got Autostyle motorsport over there, so maybe give them a call? You will be surprised at the stuff you can pick up there; steel braided hosing, LED toggle switches, wire mesh sheets, hose covers, etc.

Just thought I'd update you guys. Fablab is now closed. They moved to the CSIR earlier this year, but have since left there too. BIG bummer for me, since I used these guys pretty regularlySamaya wrote:Free laser cutting anyone?

I found these two sites - they have lots of sata cables! (D'oh)
I like the first one especially as they offer 4" (10cm) to 40" (100cm) sata cables
