Justa6 Member 214 Member For: 15y 7m 2d Posted 21/04/12 10:35 AM Share Posted 21/04/12 10:35 AM it's only a couple of kgs different between them turbo_guy and thicker is only ever easier to weld. I'd go the 100, 50 will look to thin. that orange thing is 75 or 100, imagine it 50, would look to light, not enough body. sorry for the off topic staino.
