Hi all,
I'm looking to buy some steel to start my first buggy project but I don't know where to get it from. There's pretty much everything I need at B&Q, but they can't be the cheapest, can they? (And I hate putting money in their pockets!) Also, all their (what looks like) steel is labelled as 'iron' - is that right? Is it iron and not steel at all?
Anyway, I will just need 25mm box section (1.6mm wall) for the main frame, some thing a little smaller for subframe/suspension, some angle for mounts and brackets and perhaps some tube for an attractive roll bar. What sort of stuff should I be buying, and from where?
Cheers as ever,
Jimbob (Clarke 151en from weldequip - get innnnnnn!)
