Quick question are the 8mm pins for the suspension pivots stainless steel ? Dale

I don't think so, I think they are carbon (ie non-stainless) steel. I replaced mine with 316SS to prevent rust.

I’m not sure whether it’s stainless. I exchanged mine for a brass tube. I put a thread in the tubes so I can remove them if necessary.
