What Gauge for Subframe Repairs

Post by muza »

Hi all, just wondering what gauge steel would be best for subframe repairs.
Have 1mm cold rolled for panels, not sure if this'll be strong enough for frame though.
any help appreciated, Cheers Muza

depends on what bit you are repairing - you cant go wrong replacing what you cut out with the same guage ...........
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
