Been Around the Block
All right. I'm back. University got in the way again. Another thing that had slowed the project down was that I was unable to find any tubing appropriate enough to build the new subframe.
I have been waiting for months for the tubing to appear at the stores, but as seen as the size I'm looking for is not too well sold, they aren't being produced by the manufacturers. The country is undertaken by its own economic problems and there is scarce in almost anything you may want to buy (too much government control)
Anyway, I decided I'm going to use galvanized 1/2" pipe to build the subframe. It has a size relatively close to the stock subframe tube diameter (21mm stock, 19mm galvanized 1/2"), a good wall thickness and is awfuly-smoky-weldable. But doable.
Correct me If there is something wrong with using this tubing for frame building other than welding issues that I am already aware of. I'll say goodbye until tomorrow when I finish my exams.
More updates coming as I'm sourcing the pipe and be having it delivered to my house tomorrow.
Saludos Amigos!
