Default 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
