5" Tube
Hi Chaps,
Anyone got any suggestions where I can get a metre length of 16swg 5" diameter tube for my exhausts.
(Two half metre lengths would be fine!!)
DT list it, but won't have any till mid Jan.
Steel stockholders all seem shut.
Thanks v. much
ATB

Hi Simon
5" is an odd size. Roll it from sheet?

Paul,
Not that odd Demon Tweeks list it. Trying to get through to Custom Chrome, but they seem to be on holiday too!!
Only want to make some silencers.
Looks they they'll be made from perforated tube and wadding and cardboard

PS Would have a go at rolling, but don't have enough sheet, and doubt it would look any good!

holidays suck, i was planning to start my loft conversion this week but all the bloody lumber yards are shut!! grrr
could try the scrappy, (if they are open)
or roll it from steel as suggested already.

To make the silencers, right? For a moment I was trying to figure out what you would use 5" tube for in an exhaust.. thought maybe you were
going to have super bad-boy flares on the ends or something.

Exhaust suppliers do it in mild steel but not in metre lengths. I got a 2 metre for me and a friend a few years ago. It had been ordered by someone
and not picked up so they let me have it for £20.
yours, Pete.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

DT do it in metre lengths (£34.76+vat), and was hoping to have it tomorrow so I could get on with silencers. Looks like I'll have to wait a
while!!
David,
Yeah - seen it already. Reckon there's a good couple of days work there!!
Paul,
Be interested to know how you bent the sheet. I'm sure it can't be easy (bear in mind I only have 16swg lying around
