Richard,

3.2mm is not a standard thickness made by Hardox, but the 400 and 450 Grades can be obtained at this thickness. If you contact SSAB in Droitwich (01905-794722), they will give you the name of your nearest supplier.

I bought 3 sheets of Hardox 450 at 4mm thick for the front of Bulldog it is a lot heavier than grade 2 Titanium, but not as difficult to work with,thankfully,

Hey Tony is that new profile pic the new bulldog on the left? Judging from the thickness of the Ram, it looks pretty damn powerful.

George that is one of the new rams, I have decided to have a choice of setups one 80 bore,
and the other two 50 bores, which are close coupled,the overall design is not for the Big Flip thats been done now,the design is a little different,
more a short vicious type of short flip,for this flipper speed is very important,so a short stroke
is the order of the day!

Ah, i see, so there is instead less of an emphasis on the Wheel Big Cheese style of getting in two big flips then dying out, rather to be like Chaos 2 and keep going the entire match on flipping, hence solving the usual flipper robots problem of starting strongly then dying out when you run out of gas. Sounds like a good idea to me!
