Hi Paul,
Went and checked the replacement panels I'm using, they match the 22 gauge
stock I'm using to patch corners and such. The panels are Steelcraft which
is s'posed to be original quality. I checked against floor pan, A-post, rear
wing, rocker, sill and strengthening membrane. There's a strengthener that
runs transverse behind the heelboard in the cockpit that I can't get the mic
onto, it is thicker than the 22 gauge but not quite 18. I don't have any 20
gauge stock to ref it against but I'm guessing that's what it is. There's a
couple of reinforcing pieces around the floor that mic the same as the 18
gauge stock.
