: Any readers of this board in Canada or the USA have a good
: source for 2014 T3 Aluminum. We are looking for some for
: our Spitfire Restoration. Thanks Harold

Here's a few suppliers that list 2014 (hopefully one of them will actually have some in stock!):

Some may have distributors local to you. Unfortunately this is a rather obscure alloy in aerospace these days for sheet products, so it may be hard to find.

Who else is rebuilding a Spit in the states that might be able to provide a source? I'm sure that many just substitute 2024 withouot knowing any better and call it a day...
