Ali grade and thickness Again!!

[Jimmyd]

Just picked up 3 sheets of 2500x1250 x1.2mm and 1 sheet 2000x1000 x2mm for £106 Inc VAT

I must say, that's a darn good price for the alloy

The last sheet of 1.2mm I bought cost me £47

Best of all .... I promtly cocked it up by cutting the side pannel blanks 10mm too narrow

Just as well it is still useable for other things.

Will 3103 H14 2mm do for the floor?

[Bonzo]

I would imagine it will be fine James

Here's an interesting link for you.

I was just playing around laying out rough outlines of ali pannels on 2500x1250 three sheets:

It seems that 3 sheets are definitely needed when doing ali rear, sides and bonnet: basically one sheet for each of these parts. Thought this drawing might be helpful to others.
