Tube sizes for suspension bushes.
Hi guys,
Has everybody made their wishbones as the book because my local fabricator says it would be difficult to get 25mm O.D 21mm I.D with a constant
internal measurement.What have you boys used and also what bushes?
CHEERS

Hi chaps,
I initially turned some on a lathe from a solid 25mm rod. Took ages and wasn't too great a finish internally. I then chanced upon stainless steel
seamless tube, about 6 lengths of 25mm and 6 lengths of 22mm, both with 2mm wall thickness. Turned off a couple and fitted some bushes. Perfect. So I
now have stainless steel wishbones at the front. 
Actually I priced seamless tube too and stainless is actually cheaper than mild. Probably because it's used a lot for plumbing etc.
Got the bushes from Quiller triumph, the ID was 9.7mm so I drilled them up to 10mm, drilled the brackets out to 10mm from the specified 8mm and fitted
a 10mm hi tensile stainless steel bolt.
Quiller triumph actually tried to sell me the bushes seperately but I noticed a kit they did, I'll need to check my notes for the part number, worked
out about half the price and included the bolts. Not using them though.
