What’s the thickness generally used for the Bellypan steel?
Bellypans can be anywhere from 1/16" aluminum (or even thinner) up to 3/16" steel (for ballast). I typically default to lightened 1/8" or lightened 1/16" aluminum, but this and last year ballasted bellypans made of 1/8" steel or 1/4" aluminum are good.
I’ve also done 1/4" wood bellypans. These work fine, just use nice plywood and paint it before mounting. Cheap and strong.
