exo skeloton???????
« on: Jun 29, 2006, 07:20:39 AM »
I am building a roll cage for a guy that is trading me out for a tubing bender and enough tube to build a entire exoskeloton. i was just wondering how much tube it might take to build an exo? i was thinking about 80ft not sure if that is enough.

I've never built one, but my highly calibrated butt-o-meter says you're gonna need more. Maybe in the 150' range. Especially if you haven't done a lot of bending before.

at the least 200ft. also depends what rig your caging. more specs on the truck can help others help you. Get DOM no HREW, unless your cheap and just want the tube on, for strength purposes basically only run the DOM. How extreme do you plan on building the cage, theres lots of answeres out there to help you decide your est. length of tube, but again. more info is needed.
