Hi:
I am rebuilding a frame that came in a box, the belly pan is off and is very damaged.
What belly pan material should I use? The local shop has 5052 in stock. Do I need 6061-T6 as required for side intrusion panels?
How would you recommend attaching the belly pan to the frame. The frame came with the belly riveted to the bottom faces of the frame. There was no bonding. Is it better to fasten it to the sides of the frame instead? Do you recommend bonding the belly pan as well as riveting? If so, what kind of bonding would you recommend?

Do you think you are going to add weight to make minimum weight?
If so, the belly pan is a good place to add weight.
