I need to turn up a new set of needle roller spacers for the rear monoshock linkages, spare parts drawing 14, items 18 and 24. I was looking at 4140 and then heat treating. Is this the best way to go?

Regards

Greg

Which means, I have been advised, heat up cherry red and drop in oil. Can't be any worse than what was in there.

Regards, Greg.
