Elliptical Wishbone Tubing
orton1966 - 10/2/11 at 04:27 PM

Currently sourcing some steel for various aspects of my build. For the wishbones I intend using elliptical or at least flat-oval tubing. I’m currently waiting for someone to get back with prices on the following sizes.

Elliptical 26.59mm x 16mm x 1.5mm

Flat Oval 1 1/4” x 5/8” x 16g (nominally 32mm x 16mm x 1.6mm)

Flat Oval 1 1/4” x 5/8” x 14g (nominally 32mm x 16mm x 2mm)

Tubing will be ERW, I’m probably going to use the 14g flat oval on the bottom’s and one of the other sizes on the top’s

To get a sensible price I will be ordering full lengths (6.1m) so if anyone wants some for there own build shout up and we’ll share the cost
