BHAF - old smokey mount

For those of you who have built the Old Smokey Mount, what are you making it out of? Material SS or aluminum? And thickness? Thanks.

Made first one out of 062 looked to flimsy and made another out of 125. Looked much sturdier and put that one in my truck.

I appreciate the feed back...thanks guys. One other quick question about the BHAF and I should be on my way. I know you can get the BHAF from Wix, Fleetguard, Napa..etc, etc. Are they all the identical filter, or are they just all the same sized filter, but different brands? And if so, is one brand any better than the next? Thanks in advance.

Someone listed all the various brands and part-numbers, somewhere here.

I just looked at the list a few days ago.
