I am looking for a supplier of the old lead trim that was used to cover joins in the sheet metal also used for material type roof edges. Doesn't need to be lead just want the same look

Doubt it is hard to find, I got mine from a shop in Welshpool WA. Just need a good panel/paint supplier and they should have it.

Oops, re-read your post and maybe thinking of something different.
If you mean Chrome type dress trim I think you will find it on EB , has been used on Motorcycles for tank trim.

G'Day Indiana.
Is it the lead flashing that was used for sealing aound chimneys that you are after? If so hit up the local Bunnings hardware they have tons of it on the shelf and in different widths.
Go with a big heart and openchque book as it is pricey.

These Aluminium strips came with my C1 Indiana, the original one is 1 1/4" wide and the new one is 1". Both are solid, flat on the back and curved on the outside. Unfortunately I don't know where they can be sourced from but look like a general hardware item.

Blackduck, the strips are a cover for the sheet metal joins in vehicles with wooden frames.

I'd rather have tools that I don't need, than not have the tools I do need.

Aluminium profiles vary a lot. Go to the local steel supplier or Metaland and thye may have some profiles in a catalogue to look at or use Mr Google to do your search from home first.

Try a carpet shop/ bunnys and ask for the aluminium strips that you see across doorways. Different widths, colours and texture available. Most have pre-drilled holes.

Many useful things fall off trucks

Ok, on the page now.

Agree Bunnings or Carpet shops may have it but it maybe grooved on the face.

This maybe of interest
