Anybody know where I might find an extruded aluminum drip angle? I need a piece about 9ft long. Needs to have legs about 3/4" to 1" long with a slight "J" or "Z" shape to it to create a drip edge. Needs to be ~1/8" thick or so, enough that it's fairly rigid on its own without any additional support.
 
shawn I can get all sorts of drip rail used on fire trucks and rv's but a 9 ft lenght my be the hang up. I could break something that might work on out to 12 or 15 ft. post up or send me a specific pic.

Will do. I've got a few numbers for supply houses around here that "might" be able to get something like that, but haven't started looking hard yet.

How small of a bite can you take with the brake?
 
I talked to the shop foreman and we do keep a couple manufactured drip edges in stock and they commonly run 10-12 feet.

This was what I was talking about fabricating but I'm sure we have some in stock to suit your needs with the anodized protective coating on it.

5/8 legs and the material stays pretty happy using 11ga or 1/8. using a .090 gauge I can get down to 1/2 leg both can be bent 90 degree bends. but I cant break over 90 or two bends back to back closer than 3/4 . our top die or (punch as some people call it) want allow any tighter.

I could make this up to 15 feet.

That's exactly what I need. I'm not sure on the exact length, but I figure it needs to be 8'-6" long to be safe. If it's shorter than that, I can cut it down.

Any chance you're going to Uwharrie this weekend?
 
the manufactured or custom bent? negative on the Uwharrie attendance.
 
we keep the round tubes of very hard cardboard they come in so I could ship it, or I'm 30 min from winston and we could meet somewhere in the middle.
