    Buy a sheet of it off Heaton Buckley Steel Merchants,then get a steel or metal fabrication shop to chop it in half with a guilotene/bench press machine.

    Or cut through it with a jig saw and a HSS steel blade or a chop saw with a HSS cutting disc

    If searching on the web you might have more luck searching for 8mm aluminium 'plate'. Sheet doesn't go up to those thicknesses/

    Impact metals in cork and Dublin will have that sheet for you. They will also cut to any size and are good in price.
