Is 1.5mm thick stainless thick enough .....

.... for mounting the expansion tank on.

Had Samy's original swirlpot blasted and its still very solid - despite what it looked like - so have decided to spray it and fit it to the Reserve S ahead of the Tour de FranSe.

Going to relocate the expansion tank at the same time on to a bracket next to the swirlpot. Do people think that 1.5mm thick stainless sheet is thick enough or shall I go 2mm?

Cheers.

I'll make a card template over the weekend and post a picture. Thinking of bent sides and top rail. Sides extend down over the chassis rail to m5 fixings (4no). An unfixed foot to be bent in too.
