Cheers!
my normal steel place doesnt sell seamless tubing, anyone recommend a place nearby that will have some 19x1.5mm round? Cheers!
Hub tubes on Whitehall Road used to do it through the back door, but i think they closed or maybe moved to York. Contact john Beardmore he's
local, and used seamless on his Minor. Or maybe MNR might help ?
Al.
MK Wheeler are up that way somewhere. They do DOM.
Cheers,
Syd.
Erm, ya could try Metal Supermarkets I think its called that on Geldard Road.
Up by the Gildersome Roundabout higher up and across the road from Jordans Bikes.
Only place I can think of that might be open on a sunday.
cheers for the pointer chaps. Mk wheeler have merged with a dutch company and the webshite is in gobbldegook, hub tubes are not to be found anywhere
online, but the metal supermarket is going to ring me back with a price. Ive tried westyorkshiresteel, who dont do tubes, and a place in bradford who
only do 4mm walls and up. Place in bolton want to sell me 24metres, which is a start at least, at £6 per metre. Sound right for 19mm 16g?
Any more suggestions?
Well if your going as far as bolton, try KSteels in blackburn.
im hoping not to go that far! But if all else fails, i will. Cheers for the link gav.
bugger, its not a link and google doesnt know them!

How about using seamed tubes? Most of the advantages of seamless tubing will go up in smoke the moment you put a welder to it. If you use a larger section of seamed pipe, like 25 mm, it will properly take higher loads than a 19mm seamless. As I don't have the British standards I can't check it myself.
i would do just that mate, but the seam inside it makes it hard to fit the inserts!

K Steels.. dont stock nor can they get seamless tube.
