I have a 2.5," .25wall square tube piece (43") that I'm going to use as a horizontal piece for my shock mounts in the rear (running between frame rails. It weighs 25lbs and I want to lighten it up by drilling 1.5" and 1" holes every few inches across the length of the tube.
will I keep most of the tube strength? do it on all for sides alternating the spacing on each side so the holes oppose the strength points?
I'd be lying if the cool factor was not an added consideration. Thanks in advance.
