I have an 83' MCI-9 and will be raising the roof. Before I get started I would like to cut the inserts. What size and type of tubing do the have.Also what is the thickness.
Regards

Jay, cannot tell you about the tubing but would be interested to know if you have any of the parts left from the overhead luggage racks? I am looking for several pieces of plastic, end caps and potentially the small clear lense cover for the indirect lights on the rack arms to the ceiling.
Thanks

the tubing is 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 x 16 gauge thick. I ordered mine from the local steel supplier, about 1 dollar a foot |

I would consider 14 gauge for more strength if you can get it. 16 ga burns through very easy when you are trying to weld it. |

Grant,
Sorry I have gotten rid of most of the materials. I only have the reading lights and florescent lights and lots of speakers. I do not recall if I kept any of the plastic. I am working in St. Paul MN but my home is in San Diego where the bus is. When I go home I will look in my bag of goodies.
For every one else thank you for getting back on my question. I will now be able to start the process. |
