ABS metals on Tregoniggie ind est, Falmouth should have some, you can also go to www.farnell.com, or RS components will do it as well.

Midland Chandlers of Penkridge Staffs: do brass rod in varying sizes for the narrowboat fraternity. Will supply mail order. Their brass is usually British sourced which is much better quality than Italian or Indian.

Have look at the Classic Marine web site.

just a thought, but have you tried trago? along with timber mouldings there's quite a selection of metal bars, you might be lucky (ground floor, near the plumbing section)

8 metres? In one piece? You'll be lucky!

If you need smaller lengths, any non-ferrous merchant will supply.

Be aware that brass is nearly always sized in imperial. Your nearest could be 3/8" which is about 9.5mm but 5/16" is probably available also (just not in my database). I pay £1.55 per metre for 3/8". If you get stuck, I can buy it for you if you pay the carriage.
Are you sure you want brass? Not a good choice for sea water.

Dont B&Q stock it in their metal racks? I think they do in about 1+ metre lengths

You can get short lengths from RS (search for their website). I think you can order online.

If you cant find anywhere closer try Metals SW in Newton Abbot, Devon. They suplied me with bronze rod when I needed some and are very knowledgable about grades to use in different situations. They probably have Brass in stock.
