914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What is the thickness of the crossmember?

Posted by: obscurity Aug 5 2011, 02:20 PM

I am curious how thick the cross member is suposed to be. I would have thought it was 16 ga but mine looks much thinner then that. Any thoughts

Thanks,
John

Rear trunk cross member? If so mine was two ply @ 19 ga each and used 18 ga to replace.

Actually I was thinking of the one in the cabin but I would guess they are all the same thickness

Thanks,

everything structural seems to be 19 gauge.
Cant get that here so I opt for 18 gauge.

Restoration Design sells those parts also.
