If some of you are wondering about the odd square tube sizes - I do as well
The angle iron is now fully metric ie 40mm x 40mm x 3mm is exactly that.
Now square tubing 30 x 30 x 2mm is actually more like 32 x 32 x2 mm is actually 1.25 x 1.25 x 0.080" bloody confusing.
I have some 40 x 40 x 3 angle iron, I also have some 40x 40 x2 square tubing - now one would think they would fit together nicely - well they don't, the 40 x 40 square tubing is 38 x 38mm or really 1.5 x 1.5". What a mess
