Sheet Metal Repair Thickness for a 911

[jwernquist]

I just wanted to see the general consensus on the best thickness of sheet metal for spot repairs on the 911.

I have a few holes I am getting ready to patch up and Im looking for the best thickness to use that is available locally!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

20ga will do it. 22ga is kind of thin for me.

I have a few sheets of 18,20 and 22 so I can match closer to whatever I am repairing.

Thanks that is what I was using now too :
20 Gauge and 22 Gauge however I do think 20 looks to be the best, just harder to find. I can find 22 Gauge all day long out here 20 isnt available locally, as of yet!

I don't know how thick but I just cut up an old hood for patch work

i have the local sheet metal shop wack out several 24"X24" pieces to keep in stock. 18/20/22. then there's always something around when you need it.
