Cheers in advance - Trent

U-neek bending in Dandenong south have done seamless chromoly for me before, not cheap though for small quantities. They use hydraulic pressure in their mandrel process from what I understand. Worth a call anyway. How thin is the wall?

38x6mm tube for a rollcage!!!

Obviously it's not a regular automotive cage??

CDS 38x2.6 350mpa is a minimum requirement for everything other than hoops.

CAMS are about to release a minimum requirement for 4130 and T6 materials for certified cage manufacturers (CDS / CDW anyone can fabricate rules will remain apparently)

I can tell you it's not 38x6mm as a min requirement though.

Sure it's not 38x3mm?? (6mm total wall)??

I know alot of suppliers, performance metals, race tech and myself were nil stock of anything under 3mm wall 4130 late last year. The only available sensible size was 44 & 38x3mm.

It was just a guess guys the pipe is at a workshop so I couldn't measure the wall, 6mm was stuck in my head but I think thats the thickness of the plates I'm using.

My father in law organized the pipe and as far as I'm aware it is to cams spec.

Anyways we ended up making one out of old tube we had laying around (vic drift is not cams monitored i just wanted to make it to spec just incase that ever changes) and I will tackle the chromoly at a later date,

Cheers - trent

For the application I need it for my slap together cage will do. When It comes to building a cams one it won't be "slapped together"

Im not having a crack. the person building my next cage has built cams cages before at previous jobs I was just trying to find somewhere to get the pipe bent :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
