I see from my last posts I might be overstaying my welcome, but I need help... So...

Front & rear throttle connecting rod, what is the correct tube to use? I'm having to replace mine as relocating rear throttle & have to fab a new rod.

I see from Beej's build log he has used 3/8 X 0.35 tube/rod. But what type? 4130, 5052... I just don't know the specifics of correct material.

So, sorry for clogging up the forum but any clarity on metal specifics for this & previous Q about cowling sheets would be dearly appreciated.

Thx
