Re: Best frame building material
yeah, we (Team 435) have used extruded aluminum for about 4 years now. It is very useful, because it is durable, and you can easily move pieces around. If you make an incorrect measurement, you can simply loosen the pieces, and slide them to the desired location. For the last three years, we used BOSCH, and for the 02, and 03 seasons, we used a combination of 30mm x 30mm, and 20mm x 20mm. Last year, we switched to their 1" system, because that is what all the rules and parts are in. Switching to 1" was a welcomed change.
