4130 Chromoly Tubing

[SicMonte]

Simple question:

On 4130 Chromoly tubing, do I have to use 4130 Chromoly sheet metal to make a gusset for a set of handlebars..or can I use any type of steel.

Also what rod should I use when I tig it together?

I believe ER70S wire is what you would use. As far as the gussets, I would stick with 4130. Can't hurt, right?

At the time I wrote this post I was not aware that they even made 4130 in sheet metal. Whoops!
