Request for dimensions of hell hole sheetmetal Options

[biosurfer1]

The company I work for has a sheetmetal shop at our main office and after talking to them, they will cut out whatever pieces I need to repair my hell hole.

I need to know two things...first, what gauge sheetmetal is required? also, does any one have the dimensions of the patches required for repairing the hell hole?

thanks

In my experience, metal repair in that area is a case by case situation, plus it's being cut out of flat metal, so it's not hard to make the pieces (5-10 minutes) with an angle grinder and cutoff wheel. The 'curvy' pieces I get from Restoration Design (shelf, battery tray, etc). Until you cut out the damage, you won't know what size.

Hell holes vary!

I'm doing patch work using 18 gauge steel. (the smaller the gauge number, the thicker it is) Although not easy, I can still form it with pretty much basic tools.

Here is a link to the work I've done so far, so you can get ideas;

(I'd also like somebody to step up and make a reproduction of the rearward inner to outer suspension console piece which is NLA from Porsche, so George can sell them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part number 914 501 144 10. I'm not looking forward to having to shape one with my BFH)
