If I was to make new dog bones for a rear shock linkage, what type of steel would I be best to use? I've got no experience with this type of stuff, but I'm probably going to have to jack up the arse end of a GS500 to make it more "off roady" for next years Scrapheap Adventure and I'm starting to get shit organised early (I know, I know, "That's not how you do it").
So would they be okay in mild steel if it was thick enough? Or should they be made of something more exotic? Where would the best place to find this exotic material be?
Thanks in advance cunts.
