you can use alluminum piping from 3mm-5mm depending on how thick you want your roll cage its als esay to bend or shape using a pair of pliers and its light so holds up well when glueing together i use zapp super glue and a activator for rapid setting check my space frame am building for my pro street capri. :GRIN:

activator basically makes the glue set quicker.
