wishbone tubes
I know it's been discused many times, but I can get enough info about tube size.
Where I live I can only get 21.3mm seamless tubes (2.4mm wall). This is the closest size to 1".
What do you think?

How much is it? You may be able to get a more suitable size mail order.
Where are you?

Got any landrover breakers? I used the steering drag link tube for my lower bones, the stuff you have above will be fine for the top bones.

I re-bushed a catering van chassis the other day.
I've seen thicker drinking straws. 
It made my w/b's & bushes look like something off a 4X4.

On the same subject, if you point the shock at the centre of the ball joint rather than 1/3rd of the way along you can reduce the tube size as it
no-longer acting as a lever.
Do this and use the tube you have, just have a decent gussett to spread the load at the end.

If you can find a local firm that does hydraulic stuff, they always use seamlesss tube due to the pressures involved. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

What I can get in 21.3mm is called schedule 40. Does this stuff is strong enough?
Or it could be 26.7mm o.d. but I think it's overkill.
Thank you very much.
