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.
