Cut all the old out, putting ridges in is a ball ache!

Id say 2-2.5 mm! Just redone the front of a trailer in 2mm.

saw that so 2mm it is then

going to ask a silly question but you mean like ridges ? , like cutting V in it or the ridges on the boot floor ?

the ridges on the boot floor. I have just done a bit of my boot floor and 3 plates were in the ridged area. its a right pain compared to just replacing it flat.
