This is a photo of when I was building it. Its been on the road for a couple of years... got second best cobra at the nationals last year.. Sambo the stainless is 0.7mm thick it has what they call a number 4 polish which isn't actually a polish its a very fine linish. My worry with polished stainless is that it would be too shiny and be like a mirror and reflect things that shouldn't be seen ie. the top of footboxes reflect the underside of the fibreglass... I think you could cover the footboxes over the steel and fibreglass. the best way to fix it is with stainless cap bolts. Just put the bolt through the hole wind a nut up to the back of the stainless then fix it on to the require area. The nut directly on the back of the stainless acts as the spacer and gives you that air gap for heat dispersion..... I know its sounds easy... I cut all of mine out of cardboard first and used them as the template.....
All the Best Sambo
