18g steel,and I plan on using a bead roller
inbetween frame members w/the beads running laterally,for added rigitity.
No, I dont own a bead roller but I did talk my employer into buying one for a job we did...and plan on bead rolling my floors after hours under cover
of darkness..
Oh, single piece.

Did he veto the English Wheel, guillotine and sheet metal brake, or have you not asked him yet?

20swg aluminium sheet,1 on bottom of chassis rails 1 on top of chassis rails, VHB taped onto chassis, then injected with polyurethane foam to add
rigidity and turn floor into a stressed member. Would also help with noise reduction 
Can also be used for side panels.

I used a one piece section of 18ga galvanized steel, glued with urethane adhesive and riveted every 3" or so along every lower tube.
In a test with glue alone, I had to nearly bend the steel sheet to destruction to remove it from the tubing. With the addition of a few rivets, its
going nowhere and has the advantage of being sealed at the same time.

Very interesting Duncan
Please (excuse my ignorance) what does VHB mean?
To inject the PU foam , admitting that both alu sheets extremeties are "closed" by the tubes to which they attach do you make a hole to be
covered with a screwed cover afterwards? (Sort of those cover for the fuel bags in '70ies sports cars in the side ponds?)

Since we are an aircraft completion center,
we already had the shear,brake ect..
However,he did say he'd like for us to build a small e-wheel.
Everybody at work are car nuts.We all have projects squirled away within the hangers. In fact they let (even encouraged)me build a frame jig and my
frame there!
We're very fortunate to have a job situation like this, so we all chip in with things that need attention around the hanger on choosen
weekends....Makes for a great moral booster!
