  View original topic: How much tubing to purchase?
crazyracer Sun Mar 14, 2010 5:01 pm

I haven't drawn up my cage yet but I have to order my tubing tonight in order to have it here by spring break.

How many feet are you guys typically purchasing? I was thinking somewhere in the range of 70-100' (so either 4 or 5 20' sticks). What do you guys think? What did you use for your build?

Its irrelevant to this thread, but I'm buying 1.75 x.095 wall for my cage.

Thanks guys. ~Dan

Just built a standard 6 point cage in a 64 bug, took about 45'.

I don't buy all of my steel at once.... usually design changes etc. find a way of making steel rust while sitting... If you already have EVERYTHING, like arms,shocks,seats, etc, and can fab it all quickly then consider this a non issue

I already have fuel cell, shocks, and seats. I'm think I'll grab 80' and get more only if necessary. Thanks guys.
