For aluminum you could go with .090 or .120 (nominal 1/8 inch). ABS comes in 1/8" I believe. Make a paper pattern, transfer it to the material. You can trim the aluminum with snips, a power shear, a nibbler, whatever you've got that'll cut it clean. A good quality adhesive (like 3M), follow directions and upholstery material should stick just fine.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
