2mm ????? for body panels......... only use grenades round your way  ;) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would use 1.2 or 1.5mm to repair body panels (try bending 2mm round the curve :shock: ) and 2mm for the anchor unless this is salvagable?? as they are a pressed shape

Leave the 4/8mm to build a skip  :dance: :dance:

At the end of the day. It doesnt matter what thickness you weld to it. Its still only as strong as the thickest material around it. 1.5 to 2mm will do just fine.
