5/8 is pretty big though. I think 1/2 is actualy the right size.

BTW anyone know what size "radius rod" would work decent for an EG traction bar? I want to make my own, but I'm thinking swagged tubes from Summitracing.

Post by: t_cel_t on October 01, 2010, 03:08:07 AM: do you really need the dom tubing, i though all that did was make the pipe smooth
Title: Re: Rod lenght for EF (Tracion bar kit Weir)
Post by: HiProfile on October 01, 2010, 03:31:30 AM: For traction bars, DOM would be overkill. DOM is the process used on a given steel, which makes almost all it's properties better. The load is mostly near the ends, so it just needs a decent weld. DOM tends to be easier to find in a specific OD w/better tollerances.

Post by: walter on October 02, 2010, 05:35:07 PM: what OD/thickness would be recemmended?
