Hi Jason,

Sorry but no, Rally design's wishbones are not made of box section tubes, but "Flat Oval Section" tubes, which is completely different.

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
