OK, here's my pedantic hat on again...StarBoard is a UV-stabilized High-Density Polyethylene, UHMW is a non-stabilized Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. If you are going to use UHMW for an exterior use, use black if possible, it will deteriorate more slowly compared to the natural. I'm sure there are plastics shops around your area that carry StarBoard but in desperation you can get it at Worst Marine. Personally, I would use StarBoard for outside if you were going to fabricate it yourself. That being said, I would be surprised if the Garhauer cam cleats had different hole spacing than Ronstan or Harken, it might be easiest to try one of the Harken lifts before going to the trouble of making your own.
