We can get steel from our steel suppliers buddy, they can get most things. But I don't get the dimensions? It's a seamless tube 3m long.. Is it oval in section - hence the two dimensions? They would want to know a wall thickness.

Happy to help if needed. V8 90...WIP

Likewise - I don't understand...

Most steel stockholders will happily run a cash on collection / delivery basis - I use a local fabricator but folks like Bilsons in Kettering will quote for longer lengths etc.

If you can identify what you want and / or identify who you are thinking of using (ie who we need to have an account with iin order to help...) then I can see if I can get a price etc

That is a mighty bit of tube!! I've asked my normal steel fabricator but it's along shot.

A quick google brings up... But again maybe you need an account? http://www.steelexpress.co.uk/structuralst...-tube.html James

Even if they won't give you a credit account, if you have found somewhere that can supply what you want, surely you can pay cash in advance (or credit card for safety)?

And that is seamless ?
Also would that be just 3 Mtrs

Thanks for doing some searching if it the right stuff I may go with it ?
