Hi World - I'm fabbing a custom inner long stiffening kit for my Build-Off Challenge car.
I tried searching but can't seem to find info on what gauge material is used on the Engman kit. I installed one in the past and it seems like it was 14 gauge?

Any help appreciated.

I've got an Engman kit in the garage. I'll mic it if you want.

14 or 16ga will work just fine.

Pretty sure the Engman kit is 16ga

Calling you to ask was next on my list! Thanks for the reply. (And I'll be in touch for some other goodies from you...)

I just placed the order for the custom pieces in 16ga. Pics soon on my Build-Off Challenge thread.

Thanks again!
