Wishbone material as a minimum for the lowers should be 25x2mm or 1" 14 gauge ERW comes in 5mtr lengths, buy 2 you will cock it up at some point (don't bother with CDS it is 3 times the price and you won't get much benefit from it) upper wishbones 20x2mm or 3/4" 14 gauge again comes in 5mtrs you'll need just the one, Mrs Wembley? (ask your Mum)

Thanks for the reply
First off i dont intend to hurt myself with the grinder ive been using a grinder almost daily for the last 15 years and no damage so far touch wood.
I also enjoy fabricating things from scratch.
Plus im in ireland so shipping will possibly be a problem.
Do you ship to ireland and what is the cost.
As for mrs wembley im lost.
Thanks again
Stephen

Don't use the book jigs as they are not the best instead make simple box section rectangle frames and clamp the bush tubes in place with 20x20 box section and G clamps. This way you cut the tubes to the correct length and trail fit each one and know it's square, also means you can pick it up to weld the other side with out unclamping it.

I've shipped wishbones,chassis plates,brackets to Australia ,France,Germany,Sweden,Spain,USA it just depends on whether you want to pay the shipping, the furthest a chassis has travelled is Madrid via Shipley £250.
A full set of wishbones to ROI is £20 and that weighs 15kg in a box 18" square.

These are my jig design made from 25x25 box section.

Thanks for that.
As for the neighbours one is deaf and the other is a scum bag who i annoy at everychance i get

So im having trouble locating bright steel in a suitable size over here in ireland. So im just wondering is it ok to use normal box section i know its not as nice to work with but are there any other reasons i should or shouldnt use it

[vmax1974]

I used normal box no problems using it as far as I can tell

I used the mucky stuff too.... it is a pain but easier to get a hold of

I got my 16 guage box in Heaton Buckley, Newlands Cross. But that was a few years ago
