Mallard Metals sell thin SS sheet from which you could cut your own but SS banding appears to be like hens' teeth.
Try Mallardmetals.co.uk

Allan,
If the tie wraps don't do the job try and get a cheap Stainless steel pedal bin, Tesco has small ones at about £5, when openned out they can be cut with a large pair of scissors, they are normaly .015" thk.
I laggad the boiler of my tug with stainless steel from a large bin from Tesco which had a large dent in it and negotiated with the floor manager and bought it for £10.
