[VAC] Belly aluminum


Will

I went back and compared the 6061 T6 to the original aluminum.  The original
is considerably more flexible and has less spring when bent.  This could be
important in replacing the entire belly so I would think 6061 T6 may not be
your best choice.  You may want to ask if 6061 T4  which also comes in .025
thickness is more flexible than T6.
