Mark Just my uneducated guess is that .125 would be plenty thick enough. I'm not that far along yet but that is what I plan to use if I use a speed brake. I also searched 27 years of newsletters and on page 67 found some info about speed brake.1/4" plywood was used in the one on the drawing.

I am going to install an aluminum speed brake with three rows of 3/4" diameter holes. I am planning on a 9" x 36" size. My question is...what thickness 6061-T6 aluminum should I use? The only reference I have found stated .060 but personally, I think that is way too thin. I was more inclined to 1/4". What do you guys think?
