About to make some and steal this clamp design.

What’s peoples thoughts on how thin of plate I can go for a swb se416. 6mm feels like I’m pushing it. But I have no concept of what’s strong beyond seat of my pants.

6mm is plenty. Nothing is over 5mm thick on my car.

I use Handy Steel Stocks in West Heidelberg. They cut to length too. (Only longs, not sheet)

I’ve been using them for years. Loads of stock, easy to deal with.
