What guage metal was used on the WC 53 Carryall fenders ? Any idea about the body guage ? I have misplaced my guage.
Why am I asking ? I just left the shop after plugging a hole in the back of my Carryall using my tig welder. I spent too much time making the 1/2 inch plug . I could see light between the plug and the body which meant I needed to use a little bit of filler rod. If I can get the plugs perfectly sized I will need no filler rod and I can do a much better job of fixing the holes.
So I am going to phone up my local coach works and have me punch up a pile of 1/2 inch plugs . But I need the right guage and my truck is 40 minutes away.
Looks like 20 guage on the body and 16 on the fenders, is that correct ?
thanks

I sure love it when the tig is working and I am too. Wels so purty its a shame to cover them up or file them smooth.
