for use on front wishbones
any one know a supplier
preferably in yorks/lincs

Too obvious - same place as you got the tube for the chassis!

One q - why RHS, not round like 99.9% of other builders (0.1% being Mr Gusterson)

yeah, thats me the deviant.

I used square section cos I had it and the whole lots gonna be totally covered under a full front wing.

If you use square I dont think it will pass sva as it wont meet the minimum radius requirements of edges.

nascars use square tubes so i am told......

i initially used square on mine cos i thought the fishmouths would be easier in square. made them wrong anyway, so i re-did them in round. looks a bit weak cos its 3/4" tube, time will tell as ever...

not square section
25x12
and my local stockholders dont keep
think i wouldnt of asked ?

my local B&Q warehouse has stuff about that size in cds, you could try your local if its just a short length you want, might only have it in big stores tho.

Pretty certain RHS doesn't exist in 25 x 12 size.....can't imagine CDS either in anything other than round.......ERW possibly does exist in this size.....

I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong, but I did use to buy a lot of tubing.....

the stuff i have seen in my local mega b and q isnt seamless and doesnt have a big enuf wall thickness.......

doesnt MK sell oval tubing a bit like what you are asking for?
