Darrell O'Neill Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 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?
Luapno Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 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
mark.anson Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 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.
daveblissett Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 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 dave
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Darrell, We have got loads of 3/4" OD tube, by 2.5mm thick. It's what we always use for steering tubes as has the strenght. PM or e-mail if you want some. Sorry don;t have any bar.
Darrell O'Neill Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks every. Another choice is a steering wheel spacer to fit the QR boss. Where can I get one?
