Great info. I guess my point to the original question/comment was the designed
material was not easily found or within a reasonable price. The drawings still
shows .005 stainless and asbestos on the firewall. Maybe this dialog will
bring about some sort of addendum to the drawings with a

Tony recommended 2024-T6 because it's a little stiffer than most others and
would look better, but if you've got any kind of .015" aluminum around,
Thanks for digging up the reference Ken! I'll see what I can do.
