Ok guys....I posted yesterday about how my buddy gave me his chromemoly tubing and I wanted to see if it would work with my mild steel rollbar. Well the answer was no.....but I wanted to make sure my friend wasnt mistaken about what the tubing really was...since I dont notice a weight difference.....and it cut and grinded just like mild steel. So I checked competition engineering, the company that made the cage kit that he gave me. Well no where could I find that they offer a chrome moly cage....and the part number says it's mild steel. But the prob is....the tubing I have is 1 3\4 X .120 wall...or so it appears....but on the site it said it would be 1 3\4 x .134. So maybe my eye decieves me...and it's actually .134 wall. So to cover my bases...I called summit racing...which is where my friend actually ordered the bar from...and that part number is to a mild steel bar....so from all accounts it's seems it's actually mild steel tubing...which would be awesome...but im still kinda wondering about the wall thickness....It looks like .120 wall to me......so Im just wondering is there any way I can physically tell it's chromemoly...maybe some test? It feels like mild steel....it cuts like mild steel...so it has to be mild steel right? lol please help me out...I have a new hope that it's mild steel..and I can use the pieces! thanks in advance.
