    I'm not sure what part of the world in which you reside but a source
    might be a hobby store, specifically one that caters to model train
    fanciers. I have found aluminum, copper, brass and I seem to recall
    seeing stainless stock in various gauges and sizes. It may need to
    be cut down to the thickness you require but in that guage a light
    shear or in the case of the very thin stainless stock an old paper
    cutter should work.
