Hi Bill,
Thanks for the info. My car(1930 Ulster rep) or as you correctly point out, a Replica or Special based upon the EA Sports, has not been lengthened, but is still SWB. Here in the US, aluminum is not provided in a gauge, like steel, but as a thickness, which is why I referred to 40 thou. 18 gauge steel is .048 while that gauge in aluminum is about .040. BTW, I had thought that "Ulsters" were properly called EA Sports or EA Super sports, depending on whether they were blown or normally aspirated and the AE designation was used for Tourers.
