What is the RV6A firewall gauge and metal type?

I'm looking for the spec and can't seam to find it in the blueprints.
 
I'm not sure on the -6, but on the -10 it is stainless steel and about .020-.025". I don't know what gauge that works out to be, but it is surprisingly thin. I assume the -6 and -10 are the same.

My 6A is stainless steel and I believe it's .020. Can check with a mic tomorrow if you need exact thickness.
 
From the plans

The RV-6 plan sheet 25 calls out Type 304 18-8 stainless steel 28-26 ga. for the firewall.

That would make it 0.015 to 0.018 inch thick.
