Jim< 4130 is great idea if you are doing the rest of the car in 4130. It is actually better to weld 4130 brackets to 4130 tubing, You can get away mixing them. We are starting on a tube chassis car with complete 4130 tubing and plate. It is expensive, but worth it. But it does seem that the price of 4130 has not risen and much as mild steel in the past few years. So if you doing you car in DOM, you might consider just bending it all out of
4130.
Good luck, DAD Rodger
