I need some square metal tubing but not sure where to buy it from does anybody know if jewsons or b&q do metal I looked on there website they do building stuff but not sure abut square metal tubing or a flat sheet metal don't need alot to make a wheelie bar

I think Wicks sell it - it's called box steel. I'm sure there's loads of places online you can get it from.

I would say you need DOM steel as the cheap stuff will split

1st wheelie bar's are never made from square tubing,unless your looking to make 12o clock bar, a drag wheelie bar has to flex so no cheap stuff ,,, cromoly ROUND tube seamless.And even a good 12o clock bar should flex or your going to snap weld points.

What type of bar are you wanting to build?

EDIT: old leaf springs from a car/truck are cheap and work if you do it right.

Get the steel from your local Steel Merchant not B&Q etc expensive cheap crap.
