Where to get a metal-plate with screwholes?

Hi all!

I have a CP with some rather badly placed holes for my use, so I thought about getting a thin
metal plate to lay on top of the panel, and screwing them together. Then I would make new holes
(for buttons and joystick)

The plate would need to be thin :) and about 53cm wide and 10cm high.

Does anyone in here make something like that(cut metal)??And how much would it cost me?

Thanks,

Nicholas

It would look something like this:

hardware stores usually carry small pieces of sheet metal, i dont know if they would cut it for you though. 

Malenko:

wouldnt a wooden or plexiglass piece be easier to aquire/work with ?

Hmm...good thinking!

The original panel is metal, but maybe plexiglass would be a good idea.

I just had the thought that brushed metal-color would be cool..maybe!



severdhed:

plexiglass would probably work fine, as long as the original panel is behind it for support.    If you want a nice finish, spray painting the back side of the plexiglass makes it look really nice.
