Beam Part Question

[Clem]

Anyone know how wide of these is?

and do they differ between bay and split?

Cheers

i've got bay beam pipe dia. at 2.5 inches, split at 2.3 so i'd say that there is a difference between them, but if i was to give you a diameter of that bit i'd be guessing :?

what's the outside diameter then... 64mm for a bay ? ish. wall thickness ? 3mm ?

gives you 58mm at a guesstimate, and 53 mm for a split.

sorry i can't help more

oh, and what's the picture of ? a bay beam just has three thin, three thick and three thin again, so the centre section just looks like a ' + ' haven't got a clue about splitties as you know.

The pics is of a bay part, but the work i (we) are doing is on a split .... need to chop out a section to ensure free movement, but dont want to cut too wide or too narrow, hence the width requirement. Thanks thus far.

oh ****; you mean width as in height, not as in diameter

you wouldn't have this problem with a hyundai :wink:

measure the length of the beam tube, then push a bit of rod into the beam until it touches that part - mark edge of beam tube onto the rod then measure the length of the rod to the mark, subtract 2x rod length(or measure from both sides with the rod for a more accurate measurement) from beam tube length & hey presto the width of the middle bit is left - assuming you have the torsion arms out of course.....

please post up the results, however for those with a beam in complete form..........
