SHIM STEEL ROLLS 12" x 120" Ref: SHIM STEEL 12X120
PRECISION STEEL SHIM FULL HARD COLD ROLLED LOW CARBON ALL PACKS ARE 12" WIDE X 120" LONG MEETS ANSI -1008/AISI-1010 IMPERIAL SIZES AS BELOW
.005" should do it. That's what I am going to use in my modded hex.

The only thing I'd worry about is that low carbon steel will rust easily especially as heat is involved which will speed up the rusting process. I'm thinking of making a stove and pipe next year and will probably get some stainless shim steel for the pipe.
Kifaru themselves use stainless too.

Ive thought about shim and I can get some from a local shop the only problem is it comes in 6'' wide cans and I would need 12'' circumference. Would rivets rip the steel if I were to connect 2 together lengthways?
