1mm is too thin, 1.5mm is plenty thick for these parts, 3mm is just overkill.

Anything in that area will give a little added protection if overengineered.

Plus 1, with all the gear changing/clutch presses & hard braking the car will no doubt be doing then I,d rather have a pedal box support plate that WON,T flex. Plus 2, its also a cost saving if a builder decides to cut their own CP plates....saves buying different thicknesses of steel plate....I bought a 4ft x 4ft sheet of 3mm plate for £30 & cut all my CP plates from it & still have plenty left for whenever I need some steel for other projects..... but then again I,m a tight git cheers andy

Andy,
Regards to all of the plating steel, my father can bring it home from work. F.O.C. Will have to buy all the tubing though but that's not so bad! Just trying to work out how much I am going to need of what sizes. Don't happen to know do you? Could add up all the length's in the book but thought someone might know!... |

Any give in that area would possibly affect brake pedal effort and therefore brake effort/force.
Not good for IVA. Hence the squeak............
