Was planning to buy from a vendor here but they decided not to sell to me so I got thinking on how to make my own.
My thought is to sandwich a sheet of Lexan between two sheets of Plexiglass. Combined, the three sheets will be slightly over 1/4" thick and should very strong. Optionally, a 1/4" piece of Plexiglass. I know the Lexan can yellow when exposed to UV, but on the bulkhead I doubt it would be an issue.
Cutting the components shouldn't be a problem but I do worry about mounting it. Would love a metal bracket but don't know how to get something like that.
Anyway, am I going overboard with the Plexi/Lexan/Plexi idea or does that sound good and how might you mount the thing? Builder suggests 2 metres of Part No SWR149 from Seals Direct but I really would love a metal bracket if I can get one made somehow reasonably.
