57mm OD tubing
Discussion
Help please. Trying to source some 57mm (2.25") OD steel tubing to replace both rusty rear beams on my S3, the beam that the trailing arms attach to. I've looked on the net and at the moment I've only managed to find 1.6mm thick exhaust tubing, I believe I need 3mm thickness? Anybody able to help?
Apologies for not replying earlier; I managed to get all that I needed from a local steel stockist - Dyfed Steel, Llanelli. Also managed to find a local mobile welder, recommended by several people, he can fit me in third week in October. Interestingly once the body had been partially lifted and all the waxoyl scrapped off the outriggers I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had already been replaced and were in excellent condition. Once again thanks for the help and suggestions.
Niall, apologies for not replying earlier. I've been let down a couple of times by the welder, he's promised to come Weds of next week ( ??? ), so as yet I'm not exactly sure how much tubing will be surplus. Excuse my ignorance but are you looking for one piece, 750mm in length, or two 750mm pieces? If it's just the one piece I may be able to help.
