I wish I got one now, but as I am probably well over half way I will carry on as I am..

It will be interesting to see the different way people solve the problem.

Now here is a thought.

I am not too sure what size tube to use.

38 or 40 or 42mm

38 will be strong enough but not the same size as the other tubes.

Better drop a mail to Rollcenters.

[The Elfman]

38 X 2.6mm or 40 x 2mm if you can find it...

[nicklouse]

Roll centres do it so getting it ain't an issue? But is there a requirement such as should it be the same size as the exisiting tubes? Or is it free? Which I don't belive as you will get some fool using some welded tube that is too small.....


Opps missed it

1.3.9. Harness Bars. Minimum dimensions 38mm x 2.5mm or 40mm x 2.0mm. Cold Drawn Seamless Carbon Steel with minimum tensile strength of 350N/mm2. Harness straps may be attached by looping around the tube or by threaded fixings using inserts as drawing No. 44 welded into the tubes(s).
