rectangular hollow section
for use on front wishbones
any one know a supplier
preferably in yorks/lincs
when you start this journey
you think it will be done in " no " time but then " no " turns into a " bloody " long time

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...

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.....
