Makin' some shackles for my HJ60
Whats the best steel to use?
Tempered, stainless, mild or high tensile?
and does anyone have any idea of how much it costs?
You can't kill a 60... Believe me... I've tried...
In the end, you can... drive a gu now... still want a 60

Go to Metaland and get some 50mm flat bar 6-8mm thick.
its only mild steel, you don't wanna use stainless or anything like that.
