    Replacement material for 35 mm OD Dural tubing AU4G/2017a

    I want to thank you again for your assistance. I have confirmed that all important properties are similar and that this material is the ACCEPTED material to use in place of 2017 (Dural) if you need to use tubing. I had posted at another professional engineering forum and got answers to all...

    Hello, I have an issue with trying to find a replacement for 35 x 31, 35 x 25, and 30 x 26 mm DURAL tubing. I am working with this design: http://home.caiway.nl/~fnijhuis/zekitez/buggy/sb_buggy.html If you look at the way the Down tube (tube AU4G 35x31 L=500 mm)attaches to the Central frame...
