Hi Chris ,
Try a model enginers type supplyer my dads a model enginer and you can just about buy any size brass . I couldnt recomend any particular seller just check the net . My local model shop sells it at a good price not sure if he has your size . Even B&Q sell it but there normaly in long lengths so you pay more .

K&S model supplies you can get sheet in various thickness they are a U.S. company but good model shops here should have a good range of bits
