diy rollcage
NIVAD:
Ive done a few. BUt dont quote me as i learn as i go most the time.
Material- mine as said was cold drawn pipe (seamless) this is measured by its inside diameter 42mm i think and with a substantial wall thickness to about 48 o/d, i use the clarke hydraulic pipe bender-£100.
The above im considering changing on next build as ive found a supplier of TUBE measured by O/D this is litter gauge but to full spec as thats there buisness. They also supply the brackets to bolt it all together the only thing is the tube is about twice the price of my pipe and id have to get a new bender or mandrels.
Excellent site for fish mouth calculation(joining to pipes) www.metalgeek.com/cgi-system/php5.cgi/static/cope.pcgi
Have a look at my project on www.nnoc.co.uk in Photos-user-Nivad.
