This is what it is listed under, you can check local I could not find any around me.0.313" OD X 0.035" WALL 4130 ALLOY STEEL TUBEPrjctStrtFrce said:.035 wall chrome moly tubing at www.onlinemetals.comHey rampage, do you have a part # for the tube that you purchased? I have no idea what to put in when it says to refine my search...and the description you gave me isn't coming up.
You think a local hardware store would have anything equivalent?
3ft will cover you, 6mm bolts with lock nuts and you don't understand how strong chrome moly tubing is that stuff is tuff as nails mine have been on over a year and as you can see they are painted and there is no sign of the paint cracking so trust me there is no flexing!PrjctStrtFrce said:Here it is. Great, thanks a bunch! If I were to want to do back and front, then how much would you recommend I get, 1 or 2 feet?.....on second thought, maybe closer to 2-3 feet?
To make the process easier, what size screws and washers did you use?
When you smashed the ends of the tube and bent them to their mounting position, didn't that make the entire tube weaker by giving it a "flex" point at both ends? Obviously that is the only way to install them and it would still add reinforcement, but just curious.
