Alloy tube for IC.

Postby Quint » Sun Jun 13, 2010 12:25 pm

Anyone able to get this stuff for a reasonable price? After 2x 2" (OD) alloy doughnuts and ~2m of 2" straight for my IC lines. Prices I get given seem a little.... steep.


Cheers!

I used the stuff on the trademe site above, its thin, not the best to weld, but it does the job, look at my corona on the link below if you want to see what it lookes like.

Steel and Tube off cut bins are good - the pipes are fine, sometimes just have little chips or scratches, which you can polish out ofcourse.
