Rear panel & bulk heads
Can any one tell me what thickness plate to use on paneling out the rear as shown below
 
Description
Also what thickness to use on the bulkhead where the foot pedals are
I presume that it should be quite substantial ie 2mm ?
Thanks

I used 1.5mm for everything, tunnel, bulkheads, floor, footwells ets. If building again I'd go for 1.0-1.2mm as it's easier to cut, bend
and saves a little weight.
Certainly for SVA there was no minimum thickness, not sure for IVA though.

With 2mm you could leave out the 25mm box chassis

I used 1.5 for both those areas, and unless your pedals are fixed to the bulkhead I see no reason for anything thicker. IMHO Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
