Hi all. I am ready to fabricate the engine carrier for my 15 degree Jetta conversion. Is 1/8" - 2"x2" hot rolled tube rigid enough? Or should I use rectangular tube? ( 2"x 2.2.5" ? 2" x 2.5" ?) Will the rectangular shape add strength/stability ? For sure 2" is needed for base of Fox mounts I'm using. TIA, Neil. -- Neil Nicholson. 1981 Air Cooled Westfalia - "Jaco" http://web.mac.com/tubaneil http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/
