Default Aluminium sheet suppliers and/or cutting services?

Hi everyone,

Recently I've been looking to make a custom chassis plate for my DEX210 - I've got a nose plate from the Exotek carbon chassis kit, so I don't need a kickup.

So I started looking for a company who could cut a plate for me in aluminium, but 2.5mm is a bit of an odd thickness to stock for cutting services. So plan B is to supply your own sheet of material... turns out that's quite difficult too.

Now I can take the easy way out and go to Fibre Lyte for a nice carbon example. However, for the bumpy tracks I run on I found the weight of the DEX210 helps a lot to make it stable. In other words, ideally I'd need an alu plate.

So the question that I have to you is:
Does anyone know a place (preferably in Western Europe) where I can have a chassis plate of 2.5mm alu cut? (In 7075-T6, 6061-T6 or 6082-T6 alloy - unless someone has a suitable alternative alloy for these).

Thanks in advance for your help
