Yeah, I was planning on making an acrylic top, but I can't get any cheap enough. The local plastics supplier quoted me $50 for a 4' x 2' piece of 1/2" thick clear acrylic, the smallest piece they can sell in 1/2". I have plenty of 1/4" acrylic lying around, but I am afraid the barb thread won't be secure. I also wanted the extra thickness so I could experiment with nozzles.
BTW: My block is a Z4, so there's no way I am putting the unanodized aluminum top back on. Both the exposed copper and alu were black when I took it off.
Who knows, maybe I'll buy the big piece and try to sell smaller pieces on the forums. PM me if anyone is interested.

I would stay away from acrylic, unless of coarse you are using nylon hose barbs.
Use lexan...costs more but very very strong stuff if youre going to use it for a WB top.
