Does anyone know the thickness of the outer long? My guess is 18 ga. but my calipers are dead so I can;t measure it.
Thanks, John W. |

19 gauge, its a metric thing.
Most use 18 gauge for structural and 20 gauge for anything else. Rich |

Seriously, 18G is fine for structural?
I've been doubling up 16G in the structural areas I've had to recreate--like the wheelhouse rearward of the jackpost and the jackpost area itself. |
