Yeah 14 gauge sounds sensible in ally. 16 gauge would probably suffice but maybe a tad thin for such a large item. 16 gauge isn't a pita to weld we use it all the time at work on the race cars but for a road car durability is of more importantance hence the 14 gauge. |

Any opinions on what gauge to use and where it is available? Cheers Matt Edited by Jason G on 25th Nov, 2007. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

I think he is looking for thick wall tube, rather than plate. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
