Re: pic: 6WD Riveted Frame Development

I can easily imagine having problems with attaching hardware to fiberglass tube...we have only used channel, angle, and I beam shapes, which are much easier to deal with.

You do have to be careful with design, taking into account the properties of the material you are using.

For round tubing, clamping might be a safer way of attaching it.
