stuntman Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hello one and all, I'm replacing my sills at the weekend with some box section steel, does anyone know a good thickness for this, is 2mm to thin? or 3mm, I feel that 5mm is to thick and very heavy! Please help, i need to buy it tomorrow Cheers everyone! Andi K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 the orginal sills would only have been around 1mm thick why not use 3 or 4mm box and then they could then be used as rock sliders....

Mark Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I used 120x60 box section. normal wall thickness for this is just over 3mm, which is plenty heavy enough for rock sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
