In Jhb just behind the Top star Drive in is a place, metal land or Metal world? They sell all types of metal by weight so can cut for you, I know a while back they had a waterjet machine. They cut footpeg brackets for the race bikes for us.

I used Aluminuim Trading Company in Edenvale to do the lazer cutting for my BB instrument panel. Very good. Recommendable.

They are on the end of Terrace road.

The biggest company in South Africa and also one of the largest Amada users worldwide is SPE, Stainless Precision Engineering in Roodepoort, they have done some serious work with MRFS (Material Recovery Facilities) for me, which we export to the UK. Absolutely top drawer. Incidentally water cutting is only better on greater thickness materials. In some instances its actually better to Punch/nibble and also Laser, these guys have both facilities as well as powder coating. Some serious tackle.

Also which helps is that Hannes is a Austrian "Meat bomb" that jumps out of perfectly good Airplanes.

See http://www.spe-sa.com/

In my view as good as the best we have used as a company even in comparison with the Czech Republic, UK and Germany.
