Metal gauge/thickness...

Hey all,

 

I haven't really been able to do much since posting my supposedly epic build thread, I've been pretty unwell, but I'm on the mend now and ready to crack back on.

 

But, in the bits I have done, I have found more rust than I expected. I've got the usual front/back sill issues, although not incredibly bad it needs sorting, but I also have the usual turret/wing mount rust under the seam sealant. I'm going to repair this using my own fabrications, but what gauge is the steel? Mostly I'll first be doing the turret part, I know the actual turret is a thicker gauge, but I just need to know the gauge of the rest, basically the wheel arch etc.

 

Then, hopefully I can crack back on and get something done!

 

I'd measure it my self but I'm at work, didn't think before I left, I might try and get some metal on my way home.

 

Thanks, Tudor.

    It's 20 gauge...

     

    I dont know anything about gauge sizes.

    I make floorpans and under floor stiffener rails using 1.2mm

    I am using some 1mm helping my mate repair some Riley Elf bodywork.
