Tubing for Luggage Area
Is there any reason I couldn't use 20mm conduit to make the tube which forms the rear of the luggage area?
John.

No problem using 20mm tube but personally I wouldn't use conduit for anything other than conduit it's made from absolute rubbish.

As said it's made of crap material.
BUT it's what i used as the price was less than locost
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Last time I heard of conduit was on an episode of Star Trek... so what's this version?

Its not crap, it just has a very high lead content to make it easily workable.
There is no crap metal, just inappropriately used metal
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

The original stuff made during the war when zinc of the required purity was impossible to obtain tended to self destruct, but modern zinc alloys are
fine.

Even mazak has genuine uses, in places where it will not encounter any stresses, or corrosive environments, or anything that a component made of an
alloy of sugar and cheese would be considered to be at risk of failing
