Steel Lengths - Can I cut them down

[Rik178m]

Steel arrived today wooooooooo! £89+vat. 42m 25box, 18m 19box and 18m 19 tube. All 6m lengths.

My questions is can I cut them down to say 3m maybe 2m lengths to get them under cover. I dont want to cut them down and then find out I have to order more steel.

I cut mine down to 3m lengths just to be able to transport them. I found that with such a variation of lengths that you have to cut for the chassis that you dont end up with many odd bits of pipe. Any way I used the odd bits for fixtures and welding practice etc.

Got my rear panel tubes today (RP1 and RP2) for £30.00. Incuding supply of tube. Did it while I waited.
