PuppiesBalls - 1/9/10 at 02:20 PM

Does anybody know where i could get some tube to make a pair of front wishbones?
Dont know what type, diameter or gauge to go for, car is a SSC Stylus & it'll be used on track & road
Cheers

Made mine from 25mm diam x 3mm thick wall seamless tube. Probably not the lightest going but they don't flex/bend/break especially if you add a thinner strengthening tube front to back like Caterhams.
May have some left - if you work out how much you need yours @ cost + p&p.
U2U me if interested.

I used this supplier they have various sizes in a variety of lengths.

I also used the "over-kill" 3 mm.
I want to be sure that the wheels stay there where they are supposed to be.
