Where to get Bush Tube Material around Kent
I'm having problems finding the specified 33.7 Dia x 2.6 wall tubing for Bush Tubes.
I know there are companies selling them pre-made but ideally I'd like to buy a metre or so of tube so I can make a few spares to trial weld.
Any suggestions around Kent?
John.

The material you want is called circular hollow section CHS. The size you need is listed on the website of Parker steel in Canterbury.

Mal,
have just had a look at Parkers and the nearest seems to be 33.7 x 2.5 wall. Just a little unsure whether the 0.2mm increase in bore against the
book size would have any effect on the tightness of the polybushes or am I worrying too much?
John.

The tube will have a weld seam which will be raised slightly on the inside, so will help with grip on the tube.
