I am cutting out and replacing some rusted frame members in the wheel wells of my 1980 Eagle. What is the tube specs? 1/4"? What guage? Thanks |

Dave Galey's Bus Converter's Bible in the Raising the Roof section explains that the std tubing is 40 mm with 3 mm wall thickness.
He goes on to advise that (with the demise of the Eagle Production) 1-1/2 x .125 wall thickness may be substituted.

Mild Steel will be just fine.
Eagles aren't known for stainless steel or high strength alloys (like 4130)in their structure.

My 1989 Eagle 20 has 40mm square tubing with a 2.5mm wall. I located some on the internet in Ohio. Was +/- $200 for a 20' stick shipped |
