Lightbulb Chassis information - thickness

Hi all,
Just wondering if anybody has any information regarding the thickness or gauge of the box section used in the marlin chassis? I’ve been looking at my chassis in an attempt to model it in Solidworks CAD so I can find any weak points with stress analysis. Any information you might have would be much appreciated!

Cheers Tim

I don't know the answer, would guess 1.5mm, but will try and find out when I'm down collecting my bodywork in the next few weeks, as I'm also curious.

If I were to place a bet on weak points, I'd opt for the joint between the upper logitudinal box tube and the rear bulkhead, closely followed by the lower joint which to try and describe easily, I'll call the base of the A-pillar.
