Nice bit of steel tube, quite thick walled if i recall, didn't want to twist it doing 17 point turns and was going to up to a quick rack one
day too.

ive made 3 different downlinks from both 19mm 16g tube and 25mm 12g. None have failed even on track use. I tend to pick whatever tube will fit over
the bits i happen to have lying around

7/8" OD 1/8" wall cold drawn hydraulic tubing.
We use it for very high pressure water line at work and have loads of offcuts so it's quite handy!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

3/4" CDS with Montego/Maestro splines brazed into the ends (That's my column and links). I used two 3/4" i.d. pillow blocks with
pressed housings (much lighter than cast)

I take it that the maestro splines are the same as the splines on the MKII escort rack then?
