Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 8:43 pm
hay all im thinking off makeing a tube bar for the front off my 80 series and was just wondering what thicness plat to use for the winch cradle and thicness tube to use (useing 3in pipe)
I would use 4mm plate with suitable gussets for the cradle.
But a lot of people would probably recommend 6mm.
If you are bending the tube it will probably need to be a minimum 4mm thick in 3" diameter.
Mine is 4mm cradle with 2" x 4mm bent tube and it doesn't budge for anything.
Just my thoughts.
