Aluminum dash
 
Hello everyone... I'm going to replace my dash with an aluminum dash, then wrap it in naugahyde. I'm going to use my old one, minus the holes as a template.

Does anyone know what thickness aluminum should be used for the dash? I thought I read a post to use between .06-.09 thick aluminum.

Thank you for your help/input...

Mine is a drop-centre dash, 0.063" (1.6mm / 16g) thick, and in its unsupported state it seems quite flimsy, but when fitted and properly supported/attached at upper edge and sides, and braced at the lower edge, it will be quite solid.


Cheers,
Glen
