Hi everybody,

Any source of low price spirit level in France ?
Maybe i could get my brother to get them to reunion island... We are too far 
from everything here.

Still looking for some dish.
Airplane Shipment from china is really very expensive (1400$ for2 dishes). We 
are trying to look for boat possibility, but that is not that easy...

Looked around some aluminium shops here, and only painted available so far. Cost 
for the 18 ribs only(for 3.7m dish)comes to something around 350-400euros. Need 
aluminium plates, inox screws, mesh (iron), aluminium for circular joints 
between ribs, hub...
All that would cost me quite hard...

I wonder if some flat aluminium , say 1 to 2mm thick, and 25-30mm large, should 
be ok for stressed dish ribs? If some same aluminium is used to join ribs 
together, would it be enough rigid ? That solution is less expensive.
Those who made stressed dish, what are your ribs diameter, size ?
Flat, not flat ribs ?
