Home depot aluminum pipe
 

I wanted to make some chassis bracing stuff and I saw some round piping and square piping at Homedepot. Anybody here used them before?

Re: Home depot aluminum pipe
 

do they have bends? what size pipes do they carry?

Ive used their electrical piping for my charge pipes. Not sure about a roll cgae or chassis but it could work, dont see why not as long as its thick enough.

what size did you use? was it cheaper than using exhaust piping? Is it solid or is it like flex pipe?

I intend to use them for strut tower bars and stuff. Its about the size of your shower curtain tube. I also saw 90 degree bends for electrical conduits but they have huge radius bend but its cheap though.

So you mean like 3/4" :l

The small stuff isn't big enough. It's like ebay bars.

Lowes / Home Depot carry a lot of galvanized /aluminized mild steel pipe.
2 - 2 1/2".
The mandrel bends are 2" EMT mild steel galv pipe. As he said, large radious. About $7 each.
They look like this:
Attachment 34929
They have 8-12' long 2" - 2 1/2" pipe for $8-15usd also. Generally pretending to be fence posts, and pipe outside in the garden center.

Just be sure you weld outside & just take the time to wire-brush the finish off so you don't get sick... It takes a few seconds to knock that ---- off.

For the price that Home Depot charges for 4 feet you could by 20 feet from a metal supply place.
