Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am chasing some Silo Tube, and, it seems to be rare as rocking horse droppings...

The other day I picked up a copy of 4x4 action and there was the Bonus DIY mag in the pack, inside they are making a set of slider for a rangie (project rangie, the red one) and are using Silo Tube/Section, its got a realy good profile and suits the rovers very nicly, but finding it seems to be the drama, have rang several steel suppliers in the hunter area, and the general consensus seems to be that its not avail in NSW, plenty of it in WA and SA but none up here.

For those wondering "WTF" it is, http://www.onesteel.com/images/db_image ... s/silo.pdfhere is a PDF on it.

So now im wondering if any Outers'ers people have access to it/have some/know where to get some/wanna gimmie some?

I only realy need 1X 8M length, my only option ATM seems to be to buy a 6 Pack of 12M lengths and freight it from SA to here, then I guess onsell the rest if I can shift it

So, thoughts, info, stories etc greatly appreciated!


OR, any other groovy profiles of steel that may be out there and a little more easilly accessable??? Want something thats not the plain old RHS / SHS

Cheers, Robert.

have you tried gettin onto zelly at southern steel? if not ring capital body works in town here ive seen it in their shed before man. ill talk to darren there if i get time one day.

As a matter of interest for myself and possibly others... in the diy project, which way round do they use the silo tube...

This was in a Dvd about 2 years back, had no luck with finding it back then either. Would be useful in a rear bar build.

try these guys in toowoomba qld.its where i got mine from
im pretty sure they still have offices in nsw aswell

The info and pix in the DIY are pretty poor to say the least! But looking at the profile of the Range-Rover Sill Trim, long side at the top, with the angle pointing at a 45 out/down if that makes sence.

I have also tried almost very One-Steel supplier listed on the website in the hunter area.

Will give those couple of leads a shot,

thanks fellas!

i got some through one steel or metalland on horsham vic. had some old damaged bits out the back. still got two lengths of it next to the shed if anyone wants to buy it off me.
im in southern vic though........
