Wishbone made of box section?
Hi, I have just noticed that Rally design do box section wishbones for the locost & they are really cheap. Is there any reason why I can't make one's from 20mm seamless box section with a 2mm wall ? I am mainly concerned about clearance issues as the area is a little bigger. Assembly should be easier as well. I hope !

Hi are you on the Facebook group if not you should join maybe you can get more answers there . But to answer your question I'm not entirely sure but think seamless tubing I think is a bit over kill cause here in south africa they race them and they use normal 1.6 mm round tube and they happy with it
|
Thanks for that, it's appreciated.
|

Sorry but no, Rally design's wishbones are not made of box section tubes, but "Flat Oval Section" tubes, which is completely different. DAR002prod by Sylvain ROIG, sur Flickr ERW_Welded_FS_Oval by Sylvain ROIG, sur Flickr A lot of wishbones are made of flat oval section tubes tubes, as they are more aerodynamic (I know, not a major issue for our seven-like car!), and also, look neater than round tubes. Honestly, I have never seen box section wishbones, I'm not sure it exists, so perhaps there is a good reason for that. And, if it has any importance, it will not look good either (imho :) ). And I as said above, seamless tubes might be a bit overkill, but I would use at least ERW steel tubes for my wishbones. Hope this will help :) |
Thank you Sylvian, that's spit on thankyou. I may try the oval tube to be a little different.
|
Thank Jason,
If I has to redo my wishbone (or build another Roadster :rolleyes: ), flat oval section tubes would definitely be my choice too :) . |
What is the size used on that over pipes is all the wishbones the same or what
|
I'm sorry Ricky, it should be my bad English, but I don't understand your last question. Could you please reformulate? (some comas and dots might help as well :) )
Thanks. |
