Im interested in making my own strut bars. I would like to use the same bar that Pwjdm uses. Anyone know where to get it?

 

Seems like no one knows. So what are you guys using?

 

Cromoly is what I'd use.

Isn't the PWJDM stuff AL?

 

Yeah that passwordjdm is aluminum. I think tomorrow I will go to my local metal supply and check out what they have. I would like stainless but I am worried about weight. I weld stainless very well and haven't ever tried aluminum.

 

you could use Streamline tubing.

pretty expensive.

can also look at Bicycle tubing sellers.
can get cool stuff like Reynolds chromo tubing, butted tubing, easton aluminum tubing, in oval, round, etc. (top and down tubes)

yeah its going to have to be extruded and bought in bulk if you wanna make any money off of it.

 

Great thought on the bicycle tubing. Thanks.

Yeah, it is going to be for my personal use to begin with. If it comes out the way I want and have time to make them I will sell them.

 

Nice links. I have used stuff from aircraft spruce with great results.

 

im in to viwe results. i wanna try this my self but its hard to cut the mouting pieces with just a table saw.
