Thoughts on using stainless/titanium round bar to make one off bolts (nut and washer each end)
Looking for replacement bolts for suspension links and the two longest bolts (with my rose joints) would need to be about 160mm, not easy to find metric fine fasteners at this length, I'm reducing the bolt diameter to M10 and want to use 14mm AF flanged nuts.
I know its suspension but if you measure the length of the spacers the bolts don't appear to be there for nothing more than to keep the spacers in place (Think clevis pins)
Thoughts, be as brutal as you like

Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!
