At that price why look for alternatives? Who does this work? I'd get them to
do mine.
Lots of suggestions there, everything from tin snips, to aviation shears,
to having the work done by the welding shop that I mentioned and referenced
above. That $30 is a WAG on my part, I just considered what I spent at the
local welding shop to have an assemblage TIG welded up out of 6061T6 AL
angle, I figured there was about 5-6 feet of welding and the bill came to
$45... considering the time they must have spent lacing together all that
1/4" material into a 1/2" assembly, I just figured it would take them maybe
2/3 of that amount of time to cut out that firewall. Needless to say, I
could be off by 100% (or more) and might find out that they want $100 to
cut it. Knowing what I know now, though, I'm going to get out my aviation
shears tomorrow and give that sheet a whack or two at a corner and see just
how tough it is. Snips I got.
