After a quick browse of google and talking to people on the MIG welding forum, i've decided to go for CDS tubing for the roll bar supports and cross member, due to the fact that scaffolding tube deforms in a much different way to CDS, scaffolding is much more brittle and hasnt been designed to take impact loading e.g. from rolling a car, it has been know to break instead of deform, meaning there's a high chance you could end up getting impaled by the thing which is supposed to save you.

So i'll be ringing up my local steel supplier and see what price they can give me. From looking on the net it will be around £30 for a 6m length of the stuff.
