Home made farkle for the S10

Any owners of the S10 will probably know how exposed and vulnerable the rear brake fluid reservoir is. Its positioned perfectly for a stone to be flung off the wheel and to be hit by it.

Having some time on my hands today, and being a bit bored, I made a protection plate for it. Had some ally sheet laying around, cut it to shape, put some bends in it, polished it up a bit and sprayed it with clear lacquer. Drilled two holes in it and bolted it the frame cross member.
I could have just bought one from Hepco & Becker for over 30 quid, but where's the fun in that.
Jobs a good un....

Its the new 1200 S10... not the 750.
Although its not brand new anymore, I've had it almost 2 years.

Interested in seeing the photos - would like to try the same myself.

Where is best place to get small quantity of aluminium sheet to do something like this?
