Lexan has arrived, however I made a mistake and ordered .030" thickness which I feel would be too flexible for this application. Sucks too, it's very strong/easy to work with.

For the time being I've used it as a grill block. Ordering more in something that is mostly solid disc instead of something paper thin. With the .030 even with 5 mounting points I'm not sure it would stay on the wheel at 45 mph.

How do you guys feel about 1/8" (.118 actual) thickness on these?

Would it be solid or would it be too flexible?
