What material thickness is the MK chassi done with?

Pretty sure it is 16 gauge. 1.5-1.6mm. Don't quote me on this though.

I'm sure that 1" ERW box section tube is 1.2mm thick.

I guess so, i'm using 2.0mm cause the other choice is around here 1.5 mm.

Maybe U could use 1,5 mm.

I plan to buy a chassi from MK...
