Hi guys i am currently looking at constructing the fuel tank straps for my plane, the plans call for straps to be made from .050 stainless steel which i dont have in stock but wondering if there is an equivalent strength chart to use aluminium straps instead. I have a lot of .032 2024 spare but haven't been able to find any strength conversions to see if i can use the aluminium instead of stainless steel. What i am looking for is, is it possible to use say 2 straps of .032 2024 doubled together which would be the equivalent of .05 stainless or any other combination. The tanks will be 60 litres and 30 litres in size respectively.
