I bought ten feet of the 1” and didn’t use probably half of it. And 20 feet of the 3/4” and used most of it. And if I wanted it to be as adjustable for different sizes of cars like the smart strings I probably could have used another 5 feet of the 3/4”.
I mainly overcomplicated by welding the nuts on the tubes to get the threads. That meant each one had to be welded and cleaned up. Took a ton of time. Honestly those threads don’t need to be that long - you’re not torquing that hard. What I would do is just drill holes smaller than 1/4” and chase the right threads through there with a tap. Boom. Could have cut down my build time by easily half.
