I'm retolexing a JCM style head shell and have to remove a fairly thin metal film/sheet stapled to the head under where the amp chassis sits.
I haven't opened up too many amps so not sure of the importance of this bit. I presume it must be for some kind of shielding but if I damage it when taking it off (which I think is definately going to happen) do I need to replace it and where could I find a replacement?
Thanks

Doesn't have to be ally, thin tinplate or galvo' will work just as well. B&Q are a bit pricey for metal, try car body shops and builders.
Also make D.D.Sure to get the front and back edges tight down. If they "pick up" on the chassis it can be a reet bugger to get out!

No, it doesn't have to be ally, but ally is easier to work, and easier to staple, and it won't rust, and it looks nicer IMO. Forward metals are my favourite supplier actually, rather than B&Q, but neither's that expensive. They will do you a sheet big enough for the Marshall, and even cut it to size for you, free.

But no, it doesn't have to be ally. You could flatten out a few old powdered egg tins...worked in Stalag Luft III.
Thanks for the advice. Does it need to be any particular powdered egg?
My dad has some 1mm aluminum sheet that I can use, so will give that a try.
Actually, it was powdered milk:
