Anyone have a link where to buy the tin sheet most builders have
on the botton of the headshell?

Tin sheet or foil tape?

Hope Depot or Lowes for gutter flashing.

If you want actual foil tape, any guitar/amp supply place should have it.

That's what I use. I bought one roll and have probably shielded at least seven heads with it. Just did it today when another Sour Mash head cab arrived for my JTM45 build.

A Seattle amp tech once told me years ago that he used a rectangular cut-out of mesh from a regular house screen door on a few Marshall heads that he modded, and it worked fine for under-chassis shielding.

How do you cut it?
I have good tin shears but nothing like a cut off brake press

Plain old tin snips. It's very thin and pliable .... and sharp. Just use a t-square and a Sharpie to mark off the section you need. You can use very thin double sided tape or a staple gun to install it.

Don't use shears. You can use a straight edge and a sharp utility knife to score it and snap bend off the excess. Much cleaner than tin shears. This only works with aluminum.
