With regard to using bored out tube i.e. without a seam I read last night that some small spots of weld can be applied to the inside face of the tube to give a bit of a key for the bushes.
Has any one done this or got any thoughts on it? Andy

I think it's unnecessary. The bushes just won't rotate in the wrong place anyways.

A little tip if you are planning on boring out the bush tubes on a lathe, DO NOT use the power feed to get a nice machined finish. Set the machine slightly too slow and wind the saddle in by hand to produce a rough finish, this way the bush will grip the tube better. It will make the bushes easier to push in to the tubes but also means they wont work lose and wear the polybush out. We use the right size core drill in the Colchester but then we do them in batches of 200 plus.

thanks for the reply's.
Unfortunately I cocked up and got the two pieces of tube at work mixed up ! we have a piece of 40 something mm with a 3mm wall and a piece of 33.7mm with a 2mm wall. bad times. Looks like ill be buying some 2.5mm wall then. would the 2mm wall 33.7mm be ok for the roll hoop cross bar (where the seatbelts mount) or should i get a longer length of 2.5mm wall Andy.
