you should have a look at some of the classic racers thay used hardend tubing and brazed everything together  so the tube wasnt over heated and hardend more.
i cant see why a roadster needs anything other than a mild steel tube realy and a seemless one is a better option if you can get it.
i got some for my roll bar back stays from a hyd hose co. and was fairly priced |
Now someone has got to tell him hes been a twat for the last 30 years and in all that time he could have welded all those wishbones with an old coat hanger
lol No he merely mentioned that is what they use and thats the way they do it and if I wanted some made he would do it but i think cds is more than good enough for my job. You will be seeing some of his work soon and there wont be anyone out there knocking his stuff. He knocked me up some collectors and its a shame to put them on the car. They would be more at home in a glass cupboard.
