Mark,
To Calculate how much your Aluminum Speed Brake will
weigh use the following:
Calculate the volume of your part by multiplying
length x width x thickness
Then multiply the sum by .105
Which is the density of aluminum plus a correction
factor for fabrication (rivets, primer, etc.)
Once you hav
I have searched the archives on "aluminum speed brake" and only got eight
results. I am going to install an aluminum speed brake with three rows of 3/4"

Mark,
I think you are still on the "overkill" side, even
with .060.
It would weigh: (@.125 thk =4.25 lbs)
(@.060 thk =2.04 lbs)
Consider this:

Very good info Scott. However, after I drill the holes, round the corners
and possibly reduce it to 6" wide instead of 9", the weight should be more
than cut in half. I am sticking with the 1/8" 6061-T6 which will have a lot
less complexity and faster to build. Besides, I already have the aluminum
Mark, I'll not address the thickness for you to use as Scott has posted a
very extensive analysis of the various qualities of each. I will however
post this on the net, instead of as a private email. Solid rivets can be
set using a piece of flat stock steel and hammer. Hinges on my current
