I would say 18swg but you may find it ok to use 16swg. Make sure you bolt it down well or it may distort badly. An old block is ideal but a thick
plate may suffice.

Remember the 'gasket' is not separate but bonded to the steel. Can't buy a new one so separate the steel from the ally carefully and
use goo when you bolt up.
