[funkyflynz]

need to repair some of my floor and alter the trans tunnel, what gauge sheet metal would be suitable?

Thanks

I used 20 ga for the patch work in my tubs. It was nice because it is strong enough, but also bends easier with your hands

Have to agree I used 20ga as well. I've also used 16ga on floor pans but it's not needed and very hard to bend and move.

Split the difference and use 18 guage if you can find it. I think the factory used 18 or 19 for most panels. I have not seen 19 listed anywhere in a long time.

I could not find 18 gauge anywhere near me locally. It was all either 16 or 20.

i use 20 to shape and bend, i use 16 for flat surfaces
