i wonted to make some stainless steel long arm brackets and some one told me that you can not use stainless on suspension brackets i was told it would crack and brake i was wondering if any one would no anything about this i don't really trust the person it came from but no one i talked to could give a definite answerer. and i cant find anything supporting this ether.

Stainless is harder than mild steel, which means it is also more brittle.

yep thats what i was getting at . i talked to a boiler maker yesterday and he laugh at me for asking so that would be a denfinate no no.

ok then i really had my heart set on some polished brackets they would have looked sweet and would not of had to be cleaned constantly like chrome

steel polishes up nice a coupel coats of good clear, not as bitchen as ss but......                   JUST a note on chrome on suspension parts i would not do it . i learnded this when i was a street demond. i have seen a few broken chrome springs and ladder bars  tie rods in my time . some thing to do with the chroming makes the shit brittle  just what i have ssen in my years .

chrome paint would be cheaper and if it starts coming off just sand it and repaint it

Really I wonder what the preperation on the metal would be first before you spray it on???

i dont no i might have to find out some more about it

Yes for sure but I am typically not one to roll with chrome but it would still be a very interesting learn there.

heck yea me too
