In this episode of my granite fitting saga, it appears that there won't be
enough room for the 40mm wooden beam across the twin appliance gap to
support the granite. What width steel box section would have the same
bending resistance as the 40mm wood specified?

Use 3mm walled box section, as thick as you can fit in there. 40mmx20mm
would be plenty, but the thicker the better.


Also, can granite rest directly on the metal, or should there be a soft
material on top, such as hardboard?

I'd want a cushion of silicone between the steel and the granite.
