has anyone got any off cut of 51mm steel pipe/tube? im only after abit 70mm long and the smallest bit i can find is 1m and just seems like a waste. i need to lengthen my roll bar hoop i acquired.

Many Thanks

Scaffold pole?

Sounds dangerous

Can you wait until monday when I can check the workshop?

exhaust steel was an option just to get the apprearance right. i have some steel to sleeve inside it which is 4mm thick so it would have enough strength the exhaust steel was just so it looked the same if you get what i mean?

Sorry, I only have 45mm cage tube.

when I extended my Caterham roll cage, I had inserts made of mild steel, that were the inner measurement and outer, so gave me inner strength, plus the outside , they were an interference fit, and araldited and c pinned

good thinking steve, i have access to a metal lathe so if i can find a fairly heavy piece of 51mm steel then i could machine the ends down to sleeve the ends. anyone help me out with a heavy piece of 51mm steel pipe?

I'll have a look at work in the morning. Got allsorts in the rack.

If it's just a trim piece you can adjust the diameter of a piece of tube that is close by slitting it lengthways and cutting out or inserting a bit as necessary.

All I can find is 50 x 1.5mm ERW tube and 48.3 x 3mm hollow section. I can chop a bit of those off and send them if either are any good?

Failing that I have some 2" EN3B bright round bar which is 50.8mm. I can bore a piece of that out for you if you like?
