Thinking of using this, with maybe a strip brace riveted down the middle, to seal up the boot area.
Is it thick enough? Or will it wobble like mad.

isn't it too thick? I'd aim for 1.5mm myself
Also, what are you trying to achieve? Just "random bits from the boot entering cabin", or a liquid / vapour barrier?
The latter is much more involved, but there's someone on 22b.com who does cnc cut kits: http://bbs.22b.com/forums/showthread...ight=aluminium
That kit looks pukka as far as I'm concerned. Wish he did a new age one

Cookstar this is my fire wall its a lot thinner than 3mm plus its had strengthen folds formed into it,its also shaped to fit over the side panel ridges so no need for a seperate panel to be welded underneath just gives you an idea what can be done ,,,have you had a look at Arch's composite panels ???
