Good quality plywood & stainless steel suppliers North Essex

[ianc1200]

Any recommendations where to get good quality plywood - something much better than Jewsons etc "marine plywood" which although stamped will delaminate very quickly when wet.

Similarly anywhere local (say Maldon to Woodbridge) where 316L stainless steel bolts available over the shelf in larger sizes?

Need to build a battery box within the cockpit & the bolts are for the windlass & replacing a few chainplate bolts.

Anglia Stainless for the bolts
there is also a place on Sproughton Rd ind estate Ipswich, but the name fails me

Ply, why not ask a boatyard

try Reeve and Son for the bolts/set screws/machine screws. Not sure if they do the larger sizes but worth a try, they do A2. They're at 126 High St, Maldon, CM9 5ET tel 01621 853332. Parking in the street for an hour foc. They might do wood as well.

Robbins ordering and delivery is pretty good, long time since I've done it but it was the best way in those days....
