Steel offcuts


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've been looking and begging around now for weeks for about 75mm of 20mm steel bar and about 200mm of steel tube. To extend and sleeve my steering column.

Anyone got anything kicking around in the garage?

there are a few metal stockist on ebay Metal Mania being one, the P&P isn't too bad.

You could always try you local steel stock holder they always have off cuts

Do you want 20mm or 3/4" which is 19.4mm.

You will struggle to get 20mm from metal stockists but no probs with 3/4".

As it happens i actually have some 20mm tube which is metal electrical conduit i think, from ebay.

If you are going to weld the bar please make sure you ask for mild steel

because if you use shaft steel it will have carbon in it

and it becomes brittle after welding.

have a chat to a local engineering shop they will have off cuts for cash

cheers
