I went to the local hardware store which sold sheets of metal and asked for an offcut of 0.5mm Aluminium - they were more than happy for the $5 (actually, I think I received some change!) to which I cut out the shape - and had several months of problem free gaming.
Following a HDD installation, the RRoD's are back and I'm just waiting for the board to cool down after a reflow following a gas soldering iron heat up!
Good luck!

you should be able to find what you need in a hardware or hobby store, no need for a metal supplier, you just need a small amount
good luck
