Question U-713C thickness needed

Since my other thread only got funny responses...

A second try with a better title

------------------------------------------------------

I'm using a Sam James nose wheel fairing but like the mounting method given by the newer (it's going on a RV-6A) U-713C part.

Since the angles at the attach points of the SJ fairing are going to be quite different from Vas round shape I will make my own version of the 713 bracket.

However the new plans sheets for the fancy pre-made parts don't give the material thickness like the old -6 parts.

How thick is Vans U-713C bracket?
