5052 Grade Alum Plate/Pump Mount .

[KWIKR 1]

I need to mount a pair of inline pumps side by side on alum plate under car . Is 3/16" 5052 grade alum plate good for this type of application ? Pumps weigh in at around 13lbs for the pair . Thanks .

It depends on the design of the plate, but yes one could be made from 3/16" 5052 and be plenty strong. But if your buying new material, buy 6061. 5052 is a little scammer to machine, drill, cut etc, 6061 is has better machinability.
