Warthog Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Suppliers (Brammers, Wyko, Forward) through work are qouting me on average £120 inc vat for 2" CDS 3mm wall tube. Would this be an average cost from other suppliers or are they having a laugh? Blueband is actually costing more?? Not sure why though? If so any reccomendations on a supplier would be helpfull. Plus, 2" is required for regs for the actual cage. But for the likes of Fenders and for traybacks for example what Diameter tube is also used? Looking at get another die set but not sure what size to go for? 1 1/2" is what im thinking? Cheers Mark Alaways lots of questions me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 length of 2" blueband down this way costs between £30 and £35 depending on who you buy it from. I only asked once about CDS and it was £70 ish iirc- it was enough t make me only ask once too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Go for Blue Band 48.3mm OD 3.2mm wall ID, I think known as 1 and a half nominal bore Go for Corrus BS1387 Fraction of the costs, ARC and MSA allowable, Red Band is the same OD but thicker, and heavier, and you don't need it. CDS can be a tad piggy to bend / weld too dependant on spec See the pinned thread in T&F Forum on Building a cage - might help Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warthog Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Got quoted £5.00 a metre for 1 1/2" BlueBand EN10255, 6metre Lengths. I have a Truck cab cage already manufactured in Blueband (Whitbread) So sticking with Blueband will be my choice for any mods and for my mate JeepTJ. Cheers for the response, soon be time to purchase and start playing........Weather bloody pending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 A plastic roll cage might look rather good - absorb impacts, flex rather than bend along with a certain amount of kinky appeal Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
