Default building a battery pack

i want to break down my stick battery (6 cell) into a saddle pack with 2 3's. i have a pretty good understanding of how to do this but i am finding it hard to find the tin plates used to connect current. also the right size of shrink wrap is hard to find. can i use wires and duct tape???.... jk i know that is hokey but can anybody give me a solid lead to a online store that wont charge me $4 shipping on $1 of material.....???

just had a thought... vcr's come in a tin case. have seen it used to make plates and things for fabbing chassis. would this tin work if i cleaned it up?

$4.50 for shipping but you can get everything you need right there.

Have you tried your LHS?

x2 for not very much money you can get enough supplies to build as many packs as you have batteries to fill.
