JMortensen Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 What thickness aluminum sheet would be suggested for the bulkhead between the rear deck and the fuel cell? I have some really thin stuff, like .032" and I'm feeling a little uneasy about using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM73240Z Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thats 20 ga. Thats thin. I guess it would be ok if it was resting on the cell. I plan on 16 or 18 ga. when I do mine. You might put some stiffeners (5/8" angle?) on there if that is what you are going to run. Jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 I was figuring on stiffeners if I ran this stuff. I have enough to do it and a pop up "doghouse", just a little worried that it is so thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snailed Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 What makes you uneasy about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 I guess just that the sheet is so thin it seems like it might tear and create a fuel leak into the cabin if the car rolled. Maybe that's being overly cautious. It wouldn't be the first time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
