I needed a new top plate for a chassis a few years ago - something I could chassis punch easily, so aluminium was ideal.

A firm of window fabricators down the road, when asked if they had any offcuts, proceeded to cut me a plate the right size and I don't think they even charged anything. Might be worth a try if you can locate any facilities to do the relevant folding.
