What is the RV-6A firewall gauge and metal type?
 
What is the RV6A firewall gauge and metal type?

I'm looking for the spec and can't seam to find it in the blueprints.

I'm not sure on the -6, but on the -10 it is stainless steel and about .020-.025". I don't know what gauge that works out to be, but it is surprisingly thin. I assume the -6 and -10 are the same.

My 6A is stainless steel and I believe it's .020. Can check with a mic tomorrow if you need exact thickness.

From the plans
 
The RV-6 plan sheet 25 calls out Type 304 18-8 stainless steel 28-26 ga. for the firewall.

That would make it 0.015 to 0.018 inch thick.
