I need to make front wishbones,the top ones need a bend in them,what do I use?
they will be 1"ODx10g, I was thinking of CDS1, CDS2, has anyone heard of clubman 500 tubing made by Elmdon metals?
Thanks Dave.

Hi Dave, Welcome to the site.

I would think that 1"x 10g was a little OTT myself.

Certainly, a lot of people use CDS

The Elmdon Metals stuff is MSA grade stuff, so can be used for race roll bars etc as it's ba$t*rd strong. 10 swg is probably a bit OTT, but will stop them bending. And should be easier to weld being nice and thick.
