Wtd 52mm OD 3mm wall Alloy Tube
Is 52mm OD 3mm wall Aluminium tube a 'standard' size?
Does anyone have a metre or so spare / for sale?
Cheers.
Pete.

between our suppliers (mainly aalco and richard austin) the nearest stock size is listed it as: 2" O/D = 50.8mm
with wall thinkness:
16SWG = 1.63mm
10SWG = 3.25mm
1/16" = 1.59mm
1/8" = 3.18mm
3/16" = 4.76mm
1/4" = 6.35mm
but aluminium is so easy to get extruded that others could be avalible as leftovers from big orders (~ 1 tonne min order)

I'm having a second attempt at ITBs on the E Type using Triumph 955 bodies and an XJ6 EFI Manifold, I'm leaving the injectors in the XJ6
position, and the triumph bodies don't have an injector point, but, aren't re spacable, they are 52mm OD and using 52mm tube to mod the
manifold would have been ideal. I'll go with 2", I might actually try fitting a flat plate so I can use the standard triumph mounting
rubbers instead of silicone tube...
I'll post up some pics when I get started.

What about a bit of Ally Scaffold Pole, thats about the right size and thick waller too.
Just my 2d's worth
