clear Polycarbonate cold formed units.
What does that mean, and where did you get such polycarbonate? I'm intrigued to replace the fins on my R2D2's as well, since that acrylic is too brittle and there's too much glue on those fins by now.
 
Daniel and Micro:

Can you tell me which of the several R2's you built?
