Also it's only 2mm thick, which I've not found to cause any issues, but some people insist on having really thick wall tubing. Hope that helps! Tim. Hi David,

It’s stainless so welding it to mild will need some thought, my Dad’s the welder so I left that down to him, he had to buy some special flux to do the job.

Also it’s only 2mm thick, which I’ve not found to cause any issues, but some people insist on having really thick wall tubing.

Hope that helps!
