Rule T3.7.1 says: Minimum Wall Thickness: Aluminum Tubing 3.0 mm (0.118 inch)

The rule is in the chassis chapter, alternative frame rules chapter. Does this also apply to aluminum tubes used in other parts than the chassis? I was planning to use thinner wall tubes in the suspension system (2.5 mm). Is that sufficient or do I need 3.0 mm wall tubes?

Ralphie,
Do you really have to ask? Think! What section of the rules are you reading? And then think again.
