Yes, that's the material specified in the book

You'll also need some 19mm X 19mm square tube to the same spec

Headshot,

You might have to run an average, HandyAndy and other will give you a precise amount I am sure, I got six 6m lengths of the 25mm and two of the 19mm. I think.

Cheers Ginge

As Ginge has suggested.....
6x 6mtr lengths of 25mm box ERW steel

I would suggest you get 3x6mtr 19mm (20mm is ok) box ERW

there will be times that a bit of spare comes in handy dummy shocks etc

cheers
andy

Cheers for that John,

Nice part of the world, we often drag the old caravan down that way in the summer, If I am coming over on some sort of a recce I will give you a shout beforehand.

Cheers Ginge
