I took what was left of the baffles to a welding fabricating shop, had them guage the original & they came up with a ? guage. Dont remember the guage but- --- it was not 1/8". More like a 16g.? Dont remember? The clips I used to mount the baffles were 1/8" black angle iron= 6" long. I then used my saw-zal to cut the clips to 3/4" long, bent the new baffles to make them fit. Bolted the clips to the deck & then tacked the baffles to the mounted clips.
Quite satisfisfied with my fabricating skills, it was fun.
First thing that I've so-called fabricated & welded with my super duper 90amp. welder from Harbor Freight.
