Dave----to PLAN AHEAD for a tubing order---I always order a lot of the smaller stuff, especially SS for brake, fuel lines and smaller 4130 for braces,pedals, linkages in sizes/wall thickness that gives an id that is correct size for tapping-------

lots of times adding a couple hundred feet of the smaller less $$/ft stuff gets the footage up to where the whole package costs less-------------

If you have a rep at the steel company that will give you a list of prices at the different footage groupings you can work out a very nice price for the bundle that you need---

I used to do this in reverse--ordering tubing for building Karts (total of 75 ft/per kart) I would add some 1 5/8 .083 so I could PLAY ------------its amazing that when going to the next footage grouping that sometimes the price would be less than half------
