I need to place a sheet ali order.
Roughly how much do I needs
I have a fibreglass rear panle and sides from Triton?
Any estimates
Its for the haynes so is slightly wider than a book locost.

Also what thickness and grade. 1.6mm for the floor?
Thanks

Mike

As a guide, I got through one 8' x 4' sheet of ally on my Indy. This did tunnel, rear bulkhead, scuttle front, battery tray and various other little brackets and things. You'd need a second sheet for the floor though.

1.6mm for the floor and 0.7-1.0 for the rest.

sorry to hi jack the thread but how much should i expect to pay for a sheet of ali that this weekends job for me too

Hi, I've just bought the metric equivalents of 8 x 4 sheets.

One was 18 gauge 1.2mm NS4 for the floor and the others were again 18 gauge but in 1050A pure aluminium for more or less for everything else.

I paid £31 for the 1050A and £35 for the NS4 plus the jolly old vodka and tonic!

I needed a sheet and a bit of 1.2 or 18swg to do tunnel sides and top, behind seats, front to scuttle and the pannel in front of scuttle. Price was £46 all in.

1.2 was as thin as I wanted to go. And 1.6 for the floor.
