Re: Spare tyre carrier spacer.
The power hacksaw (if I think it is what you think it is ) won't be able to cut a round corner due to the width of the blade. 45deg cut yes but won't look as good as rounded corners.
I rang Brighton Steel and to supply enough mild steel to do the 5 sets costs $48.37 (this is for 3m length - getting extra just in case of stuff ups). Then add $2.20/cut and brings the total to $60. Brighton steel won't/can't do the 45deg cuts in the corners. So far, that's $12 a set for rectangular shaped spacers.
Then I either have to do it myself (which means buying the power hacksaw) or get someone to do it. I don't have time on my hands and the minimum charge for someone to cut the corners off is probably around $50-$100. So it'll end up being around $20-$25 a set before powdercoating and fasteners.
As for stainless, Brighton have 40x10 but 40x12 is a bit harder to find. It's also harder to drill holes, etc.
If there were 10 people interested, then I would go with Computer Cut who will do it for $26+GST/set using my supplied 6061 plate.
