Anyone know of a DOM tubing supplier in the North East? I will be constructing a tie rod and drag link using tie rod ends with a 20x1.5 thread. So about .730" ID (18.5mm) with a safe enough wall thickness. What wall thickness do you guys out there run? Ive read that .187" is pretty good. thanks dudes Dan
Dunno how much this stuff'll be costing you, but here's a guy on ebay who sells 1.5" OD x .250 wall (should be 3/4" ID) for about $40 delivered for 3 feet. He's also got just about everything else you might need as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/3-DOM-1-1-2-OD-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Check out A.E.D. motorsports. They have anykind of d.o.m. you can think of. Just google them. I've ordered chromemoly from them in the past and they have good prices to and they'll cut to length if needed.
First off why are you using 20 mmx1.5? God damn commie stuff! Go with a standard rod end that is 3/4-20 and then buy a weld in adaptor from Speedway or Chassis Works and weld it into a piece of 1 inchx .058 4130 and have a link that is strong and doesn't weight 15 lbs. Probably get all the parts for less than the 20mmx1.5 RH and LH taps! Rex
