Wanted Perspex / acrylic for wind deflectors
Does anyone have a sheet of something suitable as a wind deflector. Can only get very thin perspex locally and it just flaps about.

I got some stuff about 8mm thick a couple of years back from B&Q, think it was acrylic, I think it would be rigid enough for a lip-type deflector.
I chucked out what I had left or you could've had it for P&P, but they probably still sell it.

Gary - I've got some Lexan that has been on my car for a month or so in the form of a flyscreen... more info and a pic
here.
If you're interested, drop me a U2U or email with the size of the deflectors you want and I will see if it looks like the piece would be big
enough. Pricewise say a fiver + P&P?
Cheers,
Simon

I am using perspex all the time for making 3d models of buildings (I am an architectural student you see )
Have you though how you going to cut the perspex in shape before you fit it?
It is not easy material to cut. I have 3mm sheets of perspex that I bough from ebay. I can't give it to you cause they cost a fortune (actually
they cost about 25-30 pounds a sheet but as I told you I am a student so that a fortune for me) but I can help you cut it in shape using lazer for
free. What I mean is that I have access to the universities lazer cut facilities, so if you want I can cut it in any shape you want very very accurate
for free but you need to supply your perspex yourself.
P.S I have booked the day on 26th of March for cutting a model there if you want come around to cut your perspex.

Lexan, as opposed to perspex, is relatively easy to cut

Do you have an industrial plastics supplier near to you, worth checking yellow pages? Probably a better bet than DIY stores
