Having a potential strategy to make up a small plate to fix the broken
caravan locker mechanism, I now need to source some metal.


The existing components are nice steel and roughly 1.2 mm thick, so that
seems a good starting point.


1.2mm is a standard size for some older car body parts (and maybe current
too). Perhaps someone who repairs classic cars?

But look for a metal fabricator and ask them for offcuts.

B&Q also used to sell small steel sheets - but at a price more similar to
gold.
