Also a 1/8" sheet of 7075 would be quite expensive (well maybe not crazy expensive, but you could probably get two 6061 pans for a 7075 pan price wise) and overkill. 254 and many of the westcoast teams use 6061-T6 bellypans pocketed @ .125" Thick.

Thanks, I just assumed they were using 7075 because they use it for so many other things
