Looks like your putting a motorcraft filter on there and running mobil 1, are you sure that is compatable? Good tech write up, thanks for the pictures.

I don't know about the filter, but I'm pretty sure putting synthetic oil in anything Ford 'M' is like cooking hamburger helper with a fine sherry.

Everyone bitches about threads not having enough pictures. So why not?

How does that work? Does it come pre-bent and you weld/jb weld it together? Or can it all fit in from behind with the top removed?

It says the material is "1-5/8 x .134" wall EWS ", EWS is electric welded seam right? Isn't that like the pipe you run in a house, like a step down from HREW and 2 steps down from DOM, and 5 steps down from chrome moly?

I'm guessing the difference is HREW is hot rolled and EWS is not?

It appears that EWS is HREW, for some reason that site is mega geah and calls it that.

says ews is used for hand rails and exhaust.

Karl, what makes you say it's hrew?

[RCcola55]

ews= electric welded steel
hrew= hot rolled electric welded

same thing

The website you posted says there are these in order of strength:

DOM
CREW
HREW

Then it lists details about DOM, then SEAMLESS (Not HREW), The 3rd thing it talks about is EWS, I think EWS is like saying coke and HREW vs. CREW is like Coke Zero and Diet Coke. So EWS is electrically welded as opposed to seamless. Then hot rolled EW, cold rolled EW, and DOM are subsets of that group.

Further under this website:

http://www.steelnorthshore.co.nz/ind...Path=1013_1042

It lists EWS, then under that tab is ERW.

I also found a place on the miller welds forum where some guys had a similar conversation.

I figured this all out by using the internet, so it must be taken as the biblical truth.

In conclusion that roll cage site is gay for referring to it as EWS (The miller weld forum even says this). My recommendation to you would be to sell the bonco and buy a jetta.

ews is the same as hrew

Karl, my cage was from s&w, decent cage fit together pretty well for the money and the claw at bryan iron couldnt crush it.

I did not say the cage was not a good cage, I was referring to their use of the term EWS, clearly a known geah term.
