Yes, that is a bit extravagant; I was gently taking the piss over the probable cost of being such a hipster that you'd rather have the wrong size DuraAce than the right size Kalloy.
For much less money, and for a better job than coke can, go to a modelling shop and get some 0.1mm/0.004" brass or copper sheet, which has the virtue of acting as a corrosion inhibitor by the same mechanism as copper grease. 4D models in Aldgate have 0.1mm brass for £4.05 (250x300) or even better copper for £6.80 (300x400)
