Looking for a few different items on the smaller end of things -

#1 Tubing with a 1" ID for use with Jeep shackle bushings - making some brackets. Thinking 1.25 with .120 wall is as close as I am going to find. Think that will be too much slop?

#2 Tubing with an ID that will take a 1/2 NF tap without a lot of drilling. Should be around .453 ID, I think. Gotta make some radius arms for the gocart. Scale model for the Sammy as well.

Found a good supplier in Turlock, just need a better idea of what to get.

Thanks

1.25x.120 should be fine for a bushing, but if you are picky you can use 1.25x.188 (.874 id) and drill out to the 1in.

Check out EMJ metals. You can do a search for ID as well as OD

Might also check with www.offroaddesign.com Stephen sell stuff pre cut like that WITH the bushings.

Pipe is measure by ID, so 1" pipe has an ID of 1". .145 wall thickness, a little thicker than tube. Don't know if it'd work in your application, but something to consider.

Just to muddy the water on pipe a bit .....

The ID of pipe for a given size can change based on the schedule, while the OD stays the same. That way a 3/4" pipe fitting always fits 3/4" pipe, which makes sense.

So 3/4" schedule 40 will have a smaller ID than 3/4" schedule 10.

Makes my head hurt.

BTW, Thanks to everyone for their replies. I appreciate the help.
