I Need replacement aluminum skin. Know a source?

harleywalt · Jun 1, 2021

I had a tire failure a week ago. The bottom panel at the skirt has tore the thin skin about the fuel filler area, as well as damaging the fuel station angle iron frame. (2812 Cyclone) WHAT Where can I get the aluminum? Thickness? 10 foot X 30” white. no roll or design. Can it be rolled up and shipped? Any recommendations as to best method and material? Any help appreciated

Any local sheet metal shop should be able to supply you with what you need.

I did a Google search and found a few promising items in the illustrated horizontal sliding links at the top. Also some You Tube videos on the subject.

I’ve tried to find any that sold white aluminum but none found around here in NE Tx.

That’s a good example of what I’m looking for. Thank you.

You may want to try a seamless gutter place. Their aluminum comes on big rolls and then they make the gutters to length as needed. If they do not have any they may give you a lead on their supplier.

You can buy the material from Heartland but beware of the shipping cost. They would have to build a box around the material and then ship it.

Well the cost is not worth it. I removed the skin, and used a piece of aluminum I got from H depot as a backing. Pop riveted the tear. Beat out the bent area and re installed it. It’s not factory fresh, but it works thanks everyone
