Hey All,

What is the spec of the tube that you have used for the cros tube on the roll bar, the book says 33.7 but doestn state a size from memory?

I guess CDS but what size??

Cheers

I think i used 3mm wall tube

I used a spare length of the wishbone tubing that I had kicking about, 33.7 OD :)

However after a re-read of the IVA manual .... I don't think I have placed it high enough :rolleyes:

The question of cross bar tube size was talked about recently .... it would appear that my crossbar is a tad on the light side ( Can't find the thread ) :o

If I have to change the height .... Going to go for some 40mm OD tube with a wall thickness of 3mm .... Seamed or seamless tube, I doubt it will make a great deal of difference :)

Cheers, i thought I had seen a thread about it but for the life of me I can't find it. Sure someone will know.

5.5m of 38.1 x3.25 CDS £49 - does this seem good price?? Seeing as it will hold me in my seat should the fan really turn brown I dont mind the cost:D

I mentioned it on the other thread, so may as well say here too,

I,ve used scaffold bar, its mega thick walled ( approx 5mm ), plus it was free from some building work on the house :D

fits a treat too, nicely proportioned to the roll hoop & my back stays.

Ok ok, i know its not CDS but if the wotsit hits the fan enough for that to bend then i,ll be a gonner anyways .

cheers

Handy - your scaffolder is going to be well upset when he realises you have had it away with half his scaffold:D Don't you think he might notice that it now lists at a 45 degree angle??

Sorted:D

Standing out in the workshop having a smoke. Staring at a length of steel pipe 42.5mm OD x 3.5 wall.:rolleyes:

It has been there all along plus about another 8m that I moved out when I moved in.
