Console Rodholder Tubing

Schedule 40 is much too thick. The 200 PSI is identical in thickness to the original tubes and can be flared. All the information you need is on this site. Here is a photo of the original Console Rod Holders that are located in the OEM Parts Photos section: http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...?photo=316 and here is the photo of the replacement Console Rod Holders: http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...?photo=722 I won't be making anymore sets myself until this Winter so good luck and have fun.
