buying mild steel tubing

[turbojolt]

i have no idea what i should be expected to pay for this stuff so feel about out of my depth :roll:

prices seem to be all overthe place iv seen some on ebay 30mm wide 1.5mm thick 2000mm long for £8.50 (£10 p&p)

i need about 6000mm roughly

is that a good price? ideally i want to go somewere and pick the stuff up as i wont be in during the week to accept delivery which is a pain the ****

anyone know a place local to me?

seamless or seamed??

[turbojolt]

it says welded seam

[24sevenslacker]

that seems decent, a 6m length is about £35 from a steel stockist round here

[autoworksnovasport]

what for seamed tube £35 for 6m is expensive its that sort of price for seamless rollcage tubing

if your wanting to do a proper job then go for seamless as that will take more hammer than seamed

were should i be looking for it mate

[autoworksnovasport]

look through the internet i think theres a good one in wolverhampton (cds steel tube stockists)

[turbojolt]

would you say its not worth getting the stuff on ebay at all then mate

[autoworksnovasport]

if you want to spend alot of money then yeah but its cheaper to buy it in the 6m lengths it comes in originaly
