Tim,

Correct me if im wrong but wouldnt they just be 40 x 40mm (5mm) equal angle cut at 25mm long?

Just ask the steel merchant to put them on the saw?

Yep, that is a standard size as 40 x 40 x 5 angle.
If you need the square edge, use 45 or 50 x 50 x 5 angle and cut the tips back.

And they will usually cut to your sizes and charge you a cutting fee

Brisbane Metal Market would be the go for this.... They are on the top end of moss st at springwood. One of the very few steel shops that do cut lengths these days. If not i might have some spare at work. :)

Contact Archangel007. He had a heap of alloy seat brackets made up that may suit your needs.
