I would have thought the manufacturer would be your first port of call?

Thornes then

If Thorne can't help (they bought out EH Taylor many years ago) there are plenty of firms willing to cut perspex to size.

I made my own about 4 years ago using a Bosch jig saw with a fine blade and slow speed. The 3mm perspex came from a local d I y shop.

Probably better to buy a sheet of polycarbonate and cut your own out, I really don't like Perspex myself because of the cracking issue.
I used sheetstore when needed for rear window discovery pickup conversions.

I've recently had to replace two, one of my own which a friend broke when borrowing it, and one for our branch apiary. I took the unbroken half for each extractor to a local plastics company and they cut me two new pieces to shape for £30.
