When I asked the guy I buying my sheet-metal
from, He said (nobody has ever asked for those).
Mine appear to be in good shape.
If they (are) available my toe-board is a
very good candidate for patch panels.
Maybe for future projects.
I am replacing the whole floor and toe-board.
So if these are available it would make things easier,
If they are not available, mine appear to be in good shape.

Re: Repop Sheetmetal Question

I'm sorry, but that's an outrage. If I bought a firewall and it was missing part of the firewall...

A spot weld cutter would be handy here, but it can be done with a drill!
