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

Got some brass sheet in the shed, i'll dig it out tomorrow and measure the thickness but it'll only be a rough measurement i've not got a digital vernier gauge if thats any help

regards  Jack.

K&S do 3/32 X 1/64th if thats any help...? If you can't get them closer to home I can source them from here: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wt ... LXWF21&P=0

k&s models only sell in packs of 14 strips,    thanks jack not easy to cut thin strip off
