sukiscott,i am sure it is 7075-t651 because i have allreay got mine, just waiting on the machine shop to drill and tap for me.
hey scott, i am waiting on parts, so i am taking a break from the build until i get them. talked with jody last night i think we are coming down to mountainside saturday to ride, cant wait to see the new trails.

i talked with my machine shop last night and he is going to call and see how much of the 7075 material is left, i will bye as much as they have and pass the deal on to you guys. if you know the length of your links they will cut it for us and that way i dont have to make a trip to nashville. i dont know what shipping cost me yet but i will find out.

will you have paper work showing it's 7075-T651 2"round material? the best deal i can get here at work is $23.90 per foot

 

[machen4x4]

i will have a receit from the vendor, the reason i am getting this is because there are no certification papers with it. they cant sell it to aerospace or government vendore because of this. if thats what you are talking about.

 

[KINGSNAKE]

i'll be good for 3 12' sticks that should be enough to do the rig I building

 

[The-Boss]

Jamie,
You can put me down for 3 sticks if we can figure out a place to meet. I will send you a pm.

Pretty easy to tell 7075 from 6061 anyway with the lye test. http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general-archive/6061-t6-7075-t651-aluminum-84351/

 

[machen4x4]

sounds good if everybody that has called and sent a message that is going to put me close to 14 sticks. as it gets gone i will have a better count.
thanks guys hope this works out for ya. my machine shop told me this morning that it would be delivered tomorrow. so i will have it and try and get it to yall saturday.
i was also told that the shipper and invoice that my machine shop receives will have 7075 on it, i really dont see a vendor selling this if its not true.

 

[machen4x4]

that is pretty cool how you can test it with lye, not that i have a doubt but i am going to check this test out
thanks for the info

 

[machen4x4]

i hope i dont screw this up phone has been busy all day.

 

[machen4x4]
