I'm looking for Stainless Steel Castellations, 10 slot. Has anyone here bought any and if so where from?
 
Castellations are variable and thin ones are a nightmare (so avoid Beehive Bits). Better to have five fixing holes than four: if a frame is stuck on a thin four-hole castellation it'll pull the metal away with it. Thin metal leads to bent metal, cursing, and buying twice.

When I did use them I found Thorne supplied thick metal with five holes.
 
Fitted 6 pairs of Thornes 10 slot spacers today to an assortment of supers. Had to snip a bit off depending on the type of super but looking good and getting excited for when it comes to put them on. Am spreading my limited drawn comb with some foundation and foundationless frames in the hope of getting some lovely chunk honey this year.
