TJM Bash Plate Mod

[gxl_d4d Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close gxl_d4d]

Hi,
I'm planning to modify my TJM bash plate to make the hold under the sump slightly larger so I can drain the sump without making a mess on the engine side of the bash plate. I also want to retro fit a cover over the enlarged sump access hole by drilling 4 holes, welding nuts to the bash plate and cutting a cover out of steel.

What type of steel do I need to use? The local metal supplier has 3mm steel plate and 3mm rolled sheet steel.

Thanks,

Either will be fine, if the rolled sheet was cold rolled that would be a better grade, but for such a small piece it's neither here nor there which you use.
