Does anyone know what wall thickness is used for the box section rear spaceframe in a coupe? There is a bit I want to redesign so need to order some new steel. Thanks

Re: Coupe wall thickness
It will be 16swg or 18swg.
That's about 1.5 mm to 1.2 mm.
It's what you will normally get supplied with if you order 25 mm x 25 mm square section tubing.

Re: Coupe wall thickness
The rear box section is normally 18swg 1.2mm wall thickness. When I have removed or replaced any of the tubes I have used 16swg 1.6mm wall.
