It all depends on what you are comfortable working with. Brakeline is a good starter material. For my Tube chassis I use either 1/4" DOM steel or Cromoly. It's the only material strong to enough to park a 1:1 truck on. Last edited by rckjeep; 08-28-2008 at 09:15 AM. | |

Most people use 3/16" or 1/4" brakeline from your nearest auto parts store, then braze it.. Some use same size solid rod and weld it
