Steel Q's
Hi,
Looking at starting the chassis in the next few weeks, I have found this on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HAYNES-ROADSTE...#ht_500wt_1182 It says 2mm wall thickness, Thought I needed 1.6mm? Is it ok to use 2mm or will the weight/structural integrity change too much? (May be a dumb question as my book hasn't arrived from Amazon yet Cheers in advance EDIT: Just noticed he is a forum member so i guess its OK |

2mm is fine.
a lot of people are using 2mm, including me The add you are showing is our own Handyandy. It is an excellent way to buy your chassis.; Saves all that hassle of getting the steel and cutting it to length. Edited: just noticed you have just noticed.....

Cheers for quick reply, Have been having trouble finding 1.6mm off the shelf, can find 1.5mm and 2.0mm. I am trying to decide on cutting myself or paying a bit more for someone else to do that part would save me having to manhandle 6m long pieces of steel something would get broken |

Saves cutting
Saves Swearing Saves on buying a decent cutting tool Saves time Saves Sanity Saves Space Add those up and weigh against the price of steel alone. TT

And, saves waste from wrong cuts and unusable cut offs.
Saves head scratching as all the lengths have the correct angles and are identified as such.. LG, Steve |

If like me you have a large workshop, a bandsaw, plenty of time and happen to be slightly masochistic in nature then buy the raw steel and cut it yourself. If on the other hand you are working in a domestic garage, don't own a bandsaw (or other cutting device), prefer to stay on the sensible side of the sane/insane line then buy a chassis kit from Andy .
