Where does everybody get there tubing to do repairs and add bracing to there buggies? I've used exhaust tubing for some small repairs. However, I feel like its not as strong. How about adding a links page?

How small of a repair and where at did you use exhaust tubing? That is just scary and not to mention DANGEROUS. I get mine from a guy that builds frames and has worked on buggies and VX's for over 25 years. Where are you located at in Kentucky would better for us to give you someone that might be close to you. You could always find a stock car shop they will more than likely carry tubing. I have done that before.

It was just for an engine brace to help support the horns. I'm in Stamping Ground which is close to Georgetown, Frankfort, Lexington area.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will stay away from the exhaust tubing from now on. Is ther anywhere I can order tubing such as in 6 foot lengths and have it delivered UPS. With all of the Ky people on this board theres gotta be someone who knows a close place.
