Manton / Chromo pushrods (a question as usual LOL)

as i checked for pushrods (yes i know alu HD as light = good but cant afford the ac.net for now)
manton has pushrods (blank end) cut to length , in 2 diff wall tubing size
a 0.058" and a 0.035"
i was wondering, is there any major diff aside from the obvious , possible weight differences or do they weigh the same?
how bout strength? to be used on a set of BP dual springs/chromo ret. and bugpack racing lifters
there is a small price diff (not an issue) but i was curious since theres a diff in price, what is the diff in itself (the pushrods)
curious because thats 1.47mm and the other is 0.889mm
quite a big diff in thickness
Thanks All!!

Hi the .035" Wall are good for standard VW dual springs no problem ( yes they are lighter than the .058" )
I use the .058" or the dual Tapered on all the big spring stuff.
Cheers.

and wow!! a head flow wizard replying hehe awesome K-roc
well as per Jims/the ones guidance i am using the bugpack duals,chromo rets and keepers
looks like .058"s are for me then?
or did you mean for "VW" style springs (non chevy) the 0.035's are fine?

I use the thin wall mantons with bugpacks 4046 dual springs with no problems. Think that's what K-Roc meant too.

see i had a feeling too..
im hoping Kroc can clarify his input
, from my understanding , for "vw" style springs including the 4046 BP springs, the 0.035s are fine , much like jesse/dvk's experience on them too,
and for bigger springs aka chevy style , the 0.058s are needed?
phew! good thing i asked bfor buying hehehe
