1mm perspex is very weak - I wouldn't want to use it for anything
structural. You'd probably want to look at 3-4mm minimum, but note that
it fractures easily. I wouldn't use it for your application - metal is
better.

http://www.mackay.co.uk/metals-warehouse.html is our local metals place
- they will cut and mail order, but you might also use the catalogue to
find what sort of thing you want.

Thanks.

Ordered a couple of bits of perspex to play with.
It can't be much weaker than the plastic moulding. :-(

Cheers
