I need some for fabrication but all the stuff Im finding on the net are in much longer lengths than I need. As a consequence they are expensive........

If anybody has some spare they dont need please let me know how much you want for it. I only need about 12-16"

Cheers

Ahh, you are moving it cool.

Does this mean you can weld? You could probably sell the old mounts to that omega bloke for a fair bit, pretty sure they're the same as the pinto ones, its just his chassis thats different.

The pipe im replacing though is 3mm, and as its for the engine mounts, im not i'd better risk going any thinner, but thanks for the thought

2.5" * 2mm is a lot stronger torsionally than 1.75" * 3mm

you could have a 1/2m length of it for nothing if you could collect, but it would cost you a bit in fuel
