RE: [DML] Thickness and specification of the steel used on the frame

["James Espey" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I asked Sarah, a DeLorean Museum volunteer, to post a scan of one of the
component drawings of the chassis, she chose the shock tower.

3.0mm mild steel, to British Standard 1449.1.1972, HR3, pickled and oiled.
Someone else can perhaps dig up what the spec was of BS1449.1.1972.
