I was told you should add about 10% to the length and with careful cuts you should have enough.
Its not too bad, I phoned the steel shop and worked out to about $300 CAN. or about 120 Pounds/Quid what ever you guys call it
Hi,
This has probably been asked a million times.
Does anyone know roughly how much length is required of 25x25, 19x19 and 19 round?
Cheers,
Pat...
Mcsorley has a full cut list on his site...
It is an excel file.

Well, I added up a book chassis and its about 100ft of 1x1 20ft of 3/4 x 3/4 and 18ft 3/4 round.

Wow, £120 seems a lot.
My steel cost around £50 + Vat = around £59.
And that was including a sheet of 4ft x 2ft 3mm Plate.
Don't forget when ordering steel items like the scutle which uses a C of 25x25 RHS as a base.
Also front wheel mudguard mounts.
I'm sure theres more but these 2 are the ones I can think of at the moment.

Pat,
Bear in mind you'll need some more if you're doing the Cymtriks' mods to your chassis.
Cheers,
James
the metal i got when i was gonna make my chassis came to about 90 quid and i had loads spare... I got it in 4 metre lengths.
I can not remember the exact cost of my steel but it was about £160-180 but that included 4x8 foot sheats of 3mm and 16swg. It may also include the CDS for suspension (2 x 6m lenghts).
