How thick is my 914
sheet metal that is.... I need to know the gauge of my 914 that's not with me today. I have a chance to pick up some needed sheet metal on the way home tonight. The repair location is the hell hole behind the battery. Thanks |

It's metric, but the structural parts at least are roughly
19 gauge. |

Factory thickness is 18-19 gauge for structural areas and 20 for the outer body panels. Hell hole would definitly call for the 18 gauge.
