I get the impression he has the time to invest. One could sink just as much time trying to hunt down a "good" used example. Unblemmed originals are AKA unicorns.
I second the fine toothed hacksaw followed with the sandpaper. Much more control over everything. It only takes one misplaced oversized tooth to catch the plastic and ruin your donor piece. Tool and piece in a fixed position to help with straight edges. Think meat slicer here. Belt sander on low speed sounds perfect. Can they be run slow enough?
