although AL is lightweight, it is probably too soft for this application (lots of stress) you probably want to use steel? :57:

aluminum works...this i know.
steel works too just heavier but easier to work with(more people can weld steel than aluminum....fyi)
ive almost completed mine...all i need to do is finish the risers on the sides to bolt the bar too and im done...just so **** busy! lol

what about an alloy?

i went to the metal place today and the steel tubes flexed a bit more and weighed a tonne more. but the aluminum tubes were 3/8 thicker in the walls

as long at it doesnt weigh a ton and doesnt flex it should do fine(try to get oval shaped seems to flex less and be more rigid)....the stiffer the better.... :whistling:
