I need small (like a few inches) rectangular iron plates, any help would be much appreciated.
i'm prepared to wager that the ninja 250 gets over 10,000 miles out of a series of tire, according to threat whilst much as 15k+. My set of tires seem to final at maximum 5000 miles and that's with out any burnouts yet I holiday cbr's and interest tires somewhat do no longer final so long. i like Micheline Powers the terrific for his or her cornering grip and the undeniable fact that they do no longer tend to blister, I had undesirable success with a series of Qualifiers final summer and does no longer propose them to everyone. it variety of feels which you get precisely what you pay for with bike tires.
I remember my 1984 Honda VT500FT Ascot was needing tires after 12,000 milesthe rear tire mostly.
Your local hardware store or home center has construction materials for nailing beams together. These are made of steel which is mostly iron. Depending on what exactly you need, you could use tin cans from soup or canned vegtables.
Some larger cities have these iron and steel / metal shops where they make metal products. But their iron would be pretty thick, maybe 1/2 inch, and probably not small. Try Sears hardware section or Home Depot places.
Do you mean pure iron? If you do the first two ideas are not so hot since a lot of iron for structural building applications has been galvanized (coated with zinc) for corrosion resistance. Steel is mostly iron, but can contain things like vanadium and molybdenum or chromium and nickel if it is stainless steel. Cast iron can contain a lot of graphite. You don't say what you want it for, but if you are studying the chemistry of iron then you might want to be a little careful of the source of the metal. You can buy small pieces of pure iron from chemical supply companies like Alfa. If you need small pieces of iron for structural applications, the simplest thing is to order it from someplace like McMaster-Carr.
