Hey guys.
Here I go again with another whacky idea.........
I am putting a front and rear 3-link in my 60-series (that's not the whacky part!), I have trouble getting hold of some DOM? or HT? tube in darwin, but I can get aluminium rod. I am considering using Aluminium rod for my links. I would of used 2" O.D. tube with .250" wall, can anyone tell me what size solid alloy rod I should use for the same strength?

Cheers Davo.
