Can't tell from your photo, what is the scale for the possible insert piece. Would you have to follow that curve?? What method of attachment are you going with?

The insert should likely cover that bulkhead so that there is no damage from sink water splashing in the future - good find on that SS! Used is SO cool!

Keep those photos coming and post about the questions when you can.

The size of the wall (and hence the template [see photo]) is 27x40. The piece of steel is 44x54 so I have ample. I am going to take it, with the template, to a steel cutting shop tomorrow.

Naturally I will use rivets to attach it to the wall. The wall is the one that is part of the pantry. I will use backing washers to make sure I don't pull a hole through the wall. As an aside, we got this trailer from my parents in 2002. As I removed the pantry, I found some items behind it. A few cans of smoked oysters, one of sardines and the most interesting was a half-used package of cinnamon rolls, dated 1993! It pays to check behind your pantry!!

I got my Vulkem so I can seal it up real nice.
