You will probably have to get 3.5" (89mm) which is a standards size, several of the ME suppliers will sell that cut to length such as College engineering who were top of the list

Does it have to be brass and that exact size? I have a number of blocks of aluminium bronze which are around 100mm diameter and 20-25mm thick. Yours for p&p if of any use.

There are frequent offcuts of brass to similar dimensions on Ebay, but usually command a price of precious metals.

Don't know if this helps but I went to a materials supplier geared up to supply lots of different stuff in small quantities to lots and various materials and sizes and shapes etc, based in Stoke-On-Trent they're called Noggin End Metals.

As I say I went there today and only spent a few quid but the chap there (I think it was Mike?), asked his good lady to make us both a brew, very friendly and helpful, here is a link **LINK**
