I am planning on cleaning up my floor and herculining it and have a quick question. What gauge metal should I use to patch any holes?

I am assuming 16 or 18 gauge, just dont want to go to thin and not have any support and dont want to fight with anything too thick.

Thanks

 

16-18 should be fine i used 10ga cuz it was free in a few areas and it was a pain in the ***** to form

 

16 gauge should be plenty thick for you floors and not too heavy so the weight wont be overkill

 

may sound hoopty but i use old hoods and cut the shape out i need. my jeep has some 70s chevy in its floor

 

iv done the same lots cheaper that way

 

16 guage worked the best for me, though street sines worked good too..and were free

 

+1 on 16ga. Thats what I used and it's worked great and held up better than I expected for 2yrs

 

not to be a boob but this belongs in the tech section.

 

I just finished welding in big patches in my floors with 16g and it is holding up great. I landed on a huge rock on Sunday and all it did was scratch the undercoating off, no dent or anything. And It was not that expensive, I got a 4x8 sheet of 16g cold rolled for 60 bucks.
