Canopy tube size ?

[waynes world]

Hi all

I am in the design of the canopy frame for this boat and as i have a 19mm 3/4" bender i was going with that. Now as i am finding it difficult to find fittings for it, mainly a couple of tube hinges, i am thinking is it to small a tube for this size canopy?

If it is a bit on the small size i can always get pre bent tube and weld them in as i only need two 90 degree bends at the minute. Just rather not.

I made mine, inch tube and standard fittings.

Yes i am also as said making mine but wondering what size tube and if 19mm tube is to small.

Hi Wayne,
Bits for 25mm tube are easier to find; I made a draw bender for 25 so no prob.
So, get a friend to machine out your 3/4" to 1"/25mm or just fab up the bits in 3/4". Not a big deal after what you have done on the boat )
Personally, I would go for 25mm. Have you looked at S3i ? Bit of guggle will find them. I have bought bits off them and very happy with the service and prices, not to mention the delivery in France.

Two common sizes for stainless tube used in this sort off application: 22 and 25mm. The fittings for those sizes are easy to obtain, don’t recall seeing 19mm fittings.

Hi there

Am i being lazy you think lol Not looked at S3i yet. will go mooch now.

Its these i am after but more i think 22/25mm will be better than 19mm now fro the sake of a bit more effort.
