Are there any metal pros that can give me advice on how to insert these metal tubes one inside the other, tube 1 into tube 2. I am hoping there is an easy method, I don't have a torch or welder.

I realize the tubes look like different sizes, but they aren't, camera illusion.93 Festiva GL -
get a pipe that fits inside them and put a bolt thru each one...

I need them to fit inside each other about 4 inches I think, are you saying to make a shunt to connect them? If I can't figure out how to fit inside that is probably what I will try.Originally posted by sasquatch View Post93 Festiva GLComment

You could get a tail pipe expander.
But, IMO, you should not put that rack on your car. It doesn't look good.OscarComment

I think he wants to use a futon base for a roof rack. Pu241 are you a structural engineer?OscarComment

I think that expander will work, thanks.Originally posted by perucho View PostYou could get a tail pipe expander.

Yeah, it is for a roof rack. it can hold the weight of three grown people twice as big as it is now, so it should be okay, but we will see. Plus, I am going to enamel paint it to match the car so hopefully it won't rust either.Originally posted by Pu241 View PostLast edited by Breedlove; 02-26-2010, 04:01 PM.93 Festiva GLComment

No, too many years as a plastic development engineer, seen way too many plastic applications where customers want a cheap plastic to do the work of a metal or engineering resin, without redesigning the part or tool to compensate.Originally posted by perucho View Post
So I've learned to ask about the application before I get too deep into an a project that requires more strength than the materials my company was handling.Last edited by Pu241; 02-26-2010, 05:31 PM.'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)
