Rear Bulkhead Panelling
MK Indy:
What thickness aluminium has you guy's used for the bulkhead panel behind the seating positions?
And the other internal panels for that matter?
Cheers

I bought a 8'x4' sheet of 1.5mm thick Ally for panelling my Indy. So far I've done the rear bulkhead, tunnel (top + 2 sides),
battery tray area and scuttle panel.
On reflection 1.2mm would have been a bit easier to work with though.

PS - Pics on my website of some of the panelling.

I used 1.2mm, it only needs to be waterproof, and easier to work
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I used 5251-H22 alloy of 1.2mm thickness. It is quite hard to bend but I wouldn't want it to be too easy or the panels will dent too easily. I
think this stuff is a good balance.
By the way I got mine from Aalco who are a (the?) major stockholder in the UK. It cost me about £24 for a 2500x1250 sheet with plastic coating on one
side. Delivery was £12 for 3 sheets of this. Check out their website here
Cheers,
Craig.
