Re: looking for sheet aluminum

Steel doesn't work as well with the magnets. I have some steel covers, but don't like them as well as the aluminum ones.

Does it have to be aluminum? I might be able to get that in steel from work as a donation.

The RLC-4 comes with an enclosure, but have modified it to make adjustments easier. Therefore, the need for a cover. I use neodymium magnets to hold the cover in place on the steel enclosure. No screws, just slide the cover away, make adjustments, and slide back into place.
Need about 10 pieces, a couple would get me by, the rest can wait until later. ERA needs 4 MRLA needs 3
Any ideas of where there might be some for the asking? Have checked Pacific every now and then, no luck so far.
Thanks, Harley
