£61k for the Daimler Maserati, the Formosa didn't sell.

Hi Lucky,

Can I ask please what kind of Aluminium you have used for your interior and how thick it was?
Also, did you use aluminium or steel rivets to attach it to a steel frame?

Thanks.

I used 20 swg for most of the panels, I think I used 18swg for the bulkhead. This was bought from my local stockist, not sure what grade it was, just what was available. None of it is structural in a Formosa and is easy to work with compared to heavier gauges. There wasn't much choice as lock down was causing supply issues for steel, aluminium and just about everything else ! I also used aluminium rivets on this occasion.

Thank you Lucky, your Formosa looked fantastic and raw aluminium interior looked really good in my opinion.
Deni.
