This may be a random idea but is it possible to manufacture a roll bar/cage out of stainless steel tube? Is it practical in terms of structural strength and to work with?

The reason I ask is I see alot of polished stainless used in the marine industry and though of its application to my needs. Also the polished finish would look a treat. I can see it being more $ but that is all part of this planning.

If it is a possibility, can anyone suggest who can do such work?

Many thanks

yes you can, would I - no.
Its prone to flex cracking, way harder to bend and needs special dies with longer rads, and to have a great polish that lasts would need to be 316 which is dearer, harder etc. If its just for looks run a 316 bar made from mandrel bends. Midway metals would be the place to buy them. $17 each plus you will need to buy a full 6m length of the steel required.

If you want it for rollover protection, the best you could probably do would be to polish it all then clearcoat it...
