Hi all,
I've decided to sign up as I'm planning on starting a gokart/buggy project.
I wanted to do one years ago but never got round to it! I saw these videos on youtube the other day and it re-inspired me.

I've already got a cheap arc welder that I hope will stand up to the project. Hardly practised at all though so that's the first step!
The first bit of advice I need is the size/type of steel tube to use. I've had a look round and its difficult to find many prices but I was thinking something around 1.5 inch or 48mm, 12swg/2.64mm. I'd really like to keep prices down so any advice on the cheapest type of tube or supplier would be great. The only site i've really seen with prices so far is metals4u
hopefully I will be keeping this updated as the project gets going!!
