what gauge metal!!

[unbreakable]

sorry for the noob question but i need to repair my inner fender well on my driver side , do they sell a pre cut piece of steel , and if not what gauge should i use?

Don't know if anyone sells that particular piece - you could always try a junkyard?

 

If not, 1.2mm thick mild steel would be fine - think thats 18-20gauge!

I dont believe that part is available new. Junk yard would be your best bet since its a complex curve. You could even get away with using a section from a different car as thats a somewhat universal shape. If I was starting fresh, I'd use 20 ga cold rolled.

I think BlackDragon sells the inner liner? Not 100% sure but I'll take a look at my catalog tomorrow. Do you need the liner or the whole inner piece (lateral edges of engine bay?)

Heres one option, however at 850 its pretty steep, not sure if this is the piece you need or not? http://www.new-datsun-parts.com/datsun-240Z-parts-exterior1.html refer to part F? Otherwise arizona z parts has a cutout used listing here http://www.zcarsource.com/content/p/9/pid/56608/catid/7765/Inner_Fender_with_frame_rail__body_cut___70_78__79_83

 

Is this a 240z or a 280? I thought about going down this route with my car but I'm going to just make my own patch panel instead of replacing the whole thing. Like the other guys said, junkyard would probably be the most cost effective if you want to get the orignial peice. Hope this helps.
