Try These:
Castle Metals, Letchworth 01462 687650
AircraftMaterialsUK/com Ltd ., Princes Risborough 01844 275560
Wilsons, Huntington 01480 456421
ThyssenKrupp Aerospace 0161 911 2828
Smiths Advanced Metals 01761 604710
Amari 02380 742750

A range of angle sizes is usually available but not so many channels

Best of Luck

Smiths Advanced Metals phone is 01767 604710 not 01761 (I thought it odd that rural Somerset was the home of a specialist metal company).
032505
