I finally did find 39mm dia. 1045 TG&P bar, but I have to be a buisness or shop to order it from them.
I have learned the more carbon the steel has the harder it is to weld and machine. Not the best for these two, but is stronger than 1018, so is it usable for the task ???
I will check with one locally and see if they will order it for me.
I really thought the clamp would spread open more, but it just does not give that way, but Rex you are right, that small distance that 1 1/2" lacks is just enough so that true solid clamping force does not occur.
Oh, crap, my daughter's boyfriends shop should beable to do it for me, duh!
but I do not want to purchase it if it is not suitable for being front down tubes. Help.
