However at the end of the day the above is all academic as I am still hunting down a supplier for ERW, there has to be a couple of them here in SA.
Edit to add: Does this appear to be the right stuff? http://www.robor.co.za/cold_rolled_tube.htm |
Sorry to resurrect this thread - maybe I should have PM'ed Land Locked.
Land Locked .. did you manage to source some ERW. I had the same problem a few years back and just used RHS but Chris does present a powerful argument, I must say.
Cheers.
