Making my own rear strut brace

[lolsteve]

Who uses aluminium or at least in thin quantities for construction? Only ever had to do steel frame building.
If it's construction it's either concrete or steel anything else not my business

I know where there's plenty of aluminium bridges. Like dozens of them...

Well in the three years of uni not once has the use of ali been suggested, I assumed it was due to steel being more cost effective.
It's just "use steel and if you're not using steel why aren't you using steel? are you a poof or something?!"

Yep plenty of bridges made from ally!!

Search br90 I worked on that project for vice years!!

Amazing bit of kit!!

Vickers engineering in Wolverhampton were trying to replicate the bridge but using carbon fibre for the majority of it

I guess mobile bridge systems are a bit different, in the sense I'm guessing their budgets and specifications required are different to a standard steel truss


But anyway enough about bridges, thinking john1.4's design is looking pretty spot on. Simple enough but looks strong enough
