Small quantity of 70mm steal bar in Kent

through it

Brian,

How does 115mm of 70mm bar in Bromley suit you?

(And speak nicely and we may be able to drill a big hole through it for you !)

AWEM

Darn good!

I need to get up the antenna mast to confirm dimensions- hopefully this weekend!

Thanks and I'll be in touch.

Out of interest, would you drill a hole that size? (I'm not really a model engineer, I hang around the NG hoping to learn maching tips etc to further my amateur radio hobby).

Brian,

Depends what accuracy you need for the finished hole, but certainly I'd drill the majority of the material starting small and working up (don't we all?) and if the job needs it boring the finished size, but if we're talking scaffold pole aerials I doubt true precision is called for.

Give me a call on 020-8466-5582 when you've done your pole dancing act.

AWEM

Doh, ......do I believe what I have just seen?

Rather depends on what you HAVE just seen !

Standard scaff pole , steel or Alloy is 1 &29/32" OD if that helps

Thanks, the part is a bush for the top of a CHS section to allow it to "take" a Alloy scaffold pole. It is the CHS section I need to check- the mast spec. gives a dimension but (from memory) I think it is actually a bit less than that.
