Re: IML: Patch panels

Hello Burt !

Thank's for the explanation, that's a real help for me. Really a special way to handle things.

Please take a look at my homepage about my cars http://hem.bredband.net/b411027/

Gage is a way of specifying the thickness of a sheet of metal.

Divide by 25.4 to get inches.

2 mm is .079 inches (near 13 gage).

1 mm is .039 inches. (near 20 gage)

Merry Imperial Christmas to you all !

I'm a swede who's doing some metalwork on old cars since 2002. I have looked all over for patches to imperials but there are no. There is a few shops that make rockers for 2-door cars but that's it. My question is how do you convert the american way of measuring sheet thickness to metric system. The rockers on 57 to 63 imperials are 2 millimeters and the rest of the body is made of 1 mm thick sheets. How do you convert?
