Wish I could help ya..... They are becoming rare as the newer ones are made of stainless and last an eternity. Mate made himself a "Brazier" from a stainless steel keg. Cut the top out with an angel or angle grinder and then drill some 1" or thereabouts holes around the base with a holesaw. He went to great lengths to dribble soluable oil over the holesaw while he was cutting the holes.....
Now where did he get the keg? At the local recycling yard of course....

And that's where you'll find washing machine tubs.
Most recycle centres or rubbish tips have some sort of "salvage" yard. They sell stuff for not much. Or find out where the local washing machine repairers dump their unfixable machines.
Check it out and good luck. Cheers Chris
