Aluminium sheet gauge / thickness...
I need some fairly flexible aluminium sheet to make up a couple of large wrap around p-bracket, one for my efi pump and one for the huge Sierra fuel
filter (both rivited to the chassis). Does anyone know what gauge or thickness will be sufficiently malleable?
Whilst I'm getting the aluminium, I am going to pick up some thicker sheet for the rear bulkhead and transmission tunnel. Again, what gauge or
thickness am I best using?

I used 20mm x 1.5mm aluminium strip from B&Q. A few minutes with a vice and a nice round former made my brackets. They still look fine after 18
months.

What gauge has anyone used for the rear bulkhead and tunnel?

I would buy a sheet of 1.5mm John, and use the off cuts for the P brackets.

Yep 907 if you need the sheet, that's what I would do. Just remeber to ask for half-hard if you want to be able to form it with out trouble..
