Subject: MC-Chassis Steel frames
One fact that keeps comming up on this list is that all steels are
basically of equal stiffness. The main difference between regular and high
tensile steels appears to be that the high tensile steels will bend further
without deforming.
How about using EMT conduit for chassis work? It's extremly cheap, of
consistant quality, and easy to work with. Yet there is something that
bothers me about doing this....is it my natural bias agsainst anything that
can be easily attained? What I'm thinking of specifically is building a
chassis out of EMT and with all suspension components built of CrMo. Is
this as sensible as it sounds?
