matt24680 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 hi guys doing some floorpan patching work and was wandering whats the best size of sheet steel to use? was going to use 2mm but seems a bit heavy and hard to cut? am i right in saying the original floorpan is about 1.5MM? but maybe 2mm would be easier to weld ? Thanks for the help:) Quote
matt24680 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 sorry for the stupid question but what thickness steel is that? Thanks Quote
upk Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 0.91 mm http://academic.evergreen.edu/projects/biophysics/technotes/fabric/sheet_metal.htm Have fun! Quote
mantasrme Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I normally use 20gauge 0.9mm and 18gauge 1.2mm for welding work. The 20g is far easier to shape where needed and the 18g for strength Quote
