I'm with Pete, I use 1/16" fiberglass board stock for stuff like that. I've made a few drawbars from it, they have never failed. One caution about working with fiberglass! Fiberglass eats saw blades for breakfast! Unless you have a specific fiberglass blade, I'd rough cut it with a Dremel fiber cutoff wheel, then fine shape it with a grinder or file. Oddly, I have no problem with the fiberglass dulling my drill bits, but a couple of cuts and my bandsaw blade was so dull it can't cut soft pine! I knew it was hard on blades, but I had no idea it was that hard on the blades!
