Wow!! That was a very quick response and the information is exactly what I was after. I will go with a 3/8" (9.5mm) round bar.
Many thanks to both for the information, much appreciated.
I would like to tap a 6mm thread into a few short risers of aluminium round bar. What size round bar would I need to ensure the integrity of the round bar. Is there a minumum or standard to follow; e.g. the thickness of the wall must be at least x.
This is only for a custom dashboard and will...
