Which thickness tube for front wishbones?

Does anybody know where i could get some tube to make a pair of front wishbones?

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.
Cheers, Pewe

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





Please feel free to correct my bad English, i'm still learning. Your Dutch is awfull! :-)
