Oldtime Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) since it is only 1/4 steel, there problly isnt ALOT of a diffrence, if you did it fairly easy you can probally do CR too. Edited October 29, 2005 by Oldtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
com202 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I worked up to 1/4" x 6" HRS and then tried CRS same size. They felt pretty close, my opinion, like Oldtime, is if you can bend the HRS you can bend the CRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranger Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 thaks. i heard that crs bends back kind of like a spring. like if you bend it in it goes back a little is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorKomodo Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 it is somewhat true. but this type of steel definitly doesnt bounce back as much as bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
