- Can any one telt me what the minimum pipe thichness is on a 1./4" pipe to stay within the rules. We calculated that 0.049 is the minimum, but I just want to make sure of that. Is it possible to go e

- You can't go thinner even when using chromoly. You would have been able to had the only requirement be matching of Sy*I/c. But the EI needs to be matched too. The smallest dimension is 1.25"x0.049" t

- Actually, if I recall correctly, the MIN. wall thickness is .040. However there is no such tubing size..BUT...if you could get a foundry to produce a limited batch, you could save some weight ;-) .04

- .049 isn't very difficult but it's not the easiest stuff. We had to slow down to about half or 1/3 of the speed we welded even 0.065. Granted that none of us are expert welders, but even the welding

- I think bending it is the real problem. Most benders will crinkle the tube at .049 wall and below. Ian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File

- Yeah that gets to be a problem....UNLESS you have a mandrel bender.......and if u dont have that a normal bender can do a very good job. Albiet on some bends you will have to reinfoce it due to a bi

- A mandrel bender of any quality will do a bend with that material of up to 180 degrees with out any problems. Mark Hagedorn Western Washington University Mini Baja Team Leader 360-650-3045 mark_haged

- Must be nice to have first hand experience building a baja with a mandrel bender. :-) We're used to Harbor Freight's PIPE bender, chop saw, hand grinder and 110V welder to build our cars. We're suppo

- Just be thankful you had one of those harbor frieght dealies....my baja we built at my JC was all mitered, needless to say that was a disaster...I can still hear the shouts of "ahh, Nick can fill it"
