I need to patch a couple of sections of my longs (inside the car) as well as the rear firewall. What gauge of metal was used for both of these?
I HATE rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

The Weld in reinforcements that people use are 16 ga. That should tell you something there...
I would use 18 or 16 guage, Whichever you can get your hands on. 22ga? YOu use paper? I find anything under 18 guage to be rather thin and flexable... too flexable. I would agree with travis on what the factory used.. I personally would go thicker... but thats me. |
