Re: Thin wall 6061 aluminum tubing
Neither BMG or Potomac Steel here in Northern Virginia have the 1/16" wall. They have reasonable prices on the 1/8" wall though. Thin wall is elusive indeed...
However, both suppliers have 1.5" Square Tubing at 1/16" wall, which is something we may consider. (We're doing WCD for the first time this year).
Edit ... dang, I just noticed that BMG swapped to 6063 tubing, though I'm sure it used to be 6061. For a drive train frame, what are the implications of 6063 vs. 6061?
