Livestock container Aluminium section

[Chuckie]

This is a long shot, but I'm extending a container and am really struggling to get some matching section for along the sides at the top, it's the same as what was used on David Williams containers see pics below

I need a couple of pieces about 2.5m each, but have only managed to get a bit about 3 inch long so far. All the suppliers I've spoken to say it's no longer made. Maybe there is some old stock laying around somewhere?

Second hand stuff in decent condition would do, is anyone scrapping an old container?

I've done a bit of googling and the shape looks similar to GF72 pictured below.

I found it on page 34 of John Adams aluminium brochure

There’s a small firm at full Sutton near York that mend and modify cattle bodies. On the airfield industrial estate. Maybe worth a call if you can track them down.
@Wombat may know?

Thanks for the link,

Ive spoken to them today, and unfortunately they can't get hold of any either

Bugger, at least there's a handy diagram to email around other coach builders, you might get lucky.

Used to do quite a bit with williams before they finished and fairly sure they had to order a certain amount of that extrusion for the manufacturer to run it so don't think you'll have much luck with new section

Have you tried Plowmans at Sutton on Forest above York?
