Yes, that's the material specified in the book :)

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

Headshot 23rd May 2010 06:32 PM

Cheers Bonzo :)

due to my book not arriving yet.......


What total lengths do I need of 25x25 and 19x19?

Cheers,

(damn book better arrive tomorrow :mad: )

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

HandyAndy 23rd May 2010 07:11 PM

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

I would second that bit about the extra, I wish I had some ‘extra stock’ right now.

Cheers for all your help guys :) can't wait to get stuck in properly :)

Fingers crossed my welder is getting to me on saturday, then a bit of practice and zzzzzzzzzzzp I will have a Roadster in no time (well 3-4 years I reckon :p )

Can't wait :cool:

Headshot 25th May 2010 08:47 PM

Happy days, have a good read, get stuck in & enjoy your build :cool:

What's with this 3-4 year malarkey .... I'll have you know, I have my name down for the longest build ever badge :o :D

Headshot 25th May 2010 09:55 PM

That malarky is mainly no budget! and a mrs who doesn't approve too much :D

HandyAndy 25th May 2010 10:04 PM

Headshot 26th May 2010 05:14 AM

cheers,

doesn't CP24 secure the widget to the whatnot? :confused: :D

gingea1pom 26th May 2010 08:21 AM

The search for the CP24 fixing location is overrated.:D I spent ages reading and re-reading the good book when this subject first raised it’s head, I thought I would be clever, wrong.:confused:

Happy hunting and don’t waste to much time on it.

Cheers Ginge

Bonzo 26th May 2010 08:36 AM

Talonmotorsport 28th May 2010 06:45 PM
