this has more than likely been asked before, where can i find a comparriron chart or material selection chart for teh 6061 aluminum, in the 2x2x.125 and 2x2x.065 sizes, i need to know if i can use the smaller tube to save weight, and does it still meet the strength requirements.

i suspecet that the .125 wall stuff is massive over kill, but want to know for sure either way.

Please advise if you can

Robert
