    i got all my plastic from Amari plastic's on the Team Valley Trading Estate at Gateshead...

    I've still got some of that bl00 stuff that we've used before. If ya need some gis a shout. Possibly too thick though.. i think its about 5mm.

    Coolies, I will think about it

    I am thinking that something a little thinner would be better and maybe in purple

    i got a canny bit for about £25.




    No idea if they have the machinary to make a custom face plate. maybe worth giving them a phone call. They are based next to RS electronics, near Bonas machine company.


    Also... there is a metal warehouse or summit like that over next to the driving centre on the TVTE. Same side of the road as the plumb centre. Again.. i dunno if they have the machinary to custom make a face plate but they certainly sell some nice materials
