If you want a crisp bend then you'll need quite thin material.
It sounds like a perfect job for Water Jetting Scotland!!!
Ask them to make it out of thin ali (3mm if that's minimum) and stick it in a vice.... Voila...

Not too difficult to make it yourself if you've got a jigsaw

you currently have the radii on the corners the same on the inside and outside.
it might be worth specifying it with concentric radii to tidy it up a little if you're having it water jetted.
imho of course

FYI - Its well worth installing eMachineshop from http://www.emachineshop.com.
(direct download http://www.emachineshop.com/ftp/emssetup153.exe )
Not only will this allow you to design parts, you can get them quoted, view them in 3D and export to a number of formats which can then be imported by
other people to CNC (waterjet, mill, etc) which reduces their time and hence your cost. + you get exactly what you designed not how somebody else
interpreted it.
I admit, unless you want a few hundred parts there's little point using their online ordering facility, but the cost feature is nice so you can
value engineer the part.
Its the perfect tool for knocking up this project, viewing it and exporting for somebody to make you one.

Would be interested to know your price for making these Andy - it would be a good guide as to what this kind of work costs.
