Aluminium thickness - availability
Ok, I'm lazy someone can surely save me some research here!
What is the thinnest commonly available aluiminium, I know you can get 1.0mm or thereabouts fairly easily, but is there anything thinner available as
large sheets - I'm hoping maybe 0.5mm may exist???
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

The LocUst used to use 0.5mm over the medite MDF, so that should be available.
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

aalco will show it as a size they do but i call them must be 40 times a day for stock and have tried in the past to get 0.5 but rarely have it on the
shelf,
iv never actually got hold of it when needed, but iv been told it is available you just have to do alot of searching, sorry i couldnt help further,
you might be better with 0.7/0.8 if you can cope with the extra thickness as it should be readily available

I've used .5 before to make a box trailer, really nice to form round curves, perfect if its just a bulkhead panel. Zero weight bearing though,
even a stone thrown up by a wheel will put a big dent in it and on the trailer the wind make the panels ripple.
IIRC the Apollo moon Lander’s pressure hull was only the thickness of 5 sheets of tin foil, apparently the astronauts had to be careful not to
accidentally stab it with a pen
