Enco or WT Tool as well. WT Tool is local to me so I can just go talk to someone over the counter which is nice. Not affiliated with either though.

You may also want to look around in your area for a "Metal Supermarket". They tend to have a lot of offcuts and odd sizes.

if you're looking for flat stock for scrapers, i've heard leaf springs are hard to beat. i may be wrong. i plan on trying one for myself soon.
