Thanks! I have looked through @monoglaze 's restoration thread, but it seemed like he didn't actually make the metal bits from what I can tell...
Yeah. I thought so. You could probably get them cut and welded on. That process did sound much easier than the sheet metal idea and IMO looks nicer (between TT and DT).
also wondering whether aluminium is really the best material for that (and where to source it)?
Where did you get aluminium from? I have absolutely no idea regarding this.
I'm not in London but where I am there is a hardware shop that does (I think) sheet metal and wood... And fireworks. I'd be incredibly surprised if there wasn't an equivalent in the whole of London. Just search on Google maps hardware stores and then Google them.

I'd think for some areas (like between seat tube and stays) I would want a couple pieces of sheet metal, rather than just one with loads of filler... also wondering whether aluminium is really the best material for that (and where to source it)?
