front link material was like 38" I think


length didn't play a part in the failure near the end

after thinking about it - I was worried that the shear strength of the turned down portion would be an issue, seems it was, but that doesn't seem like a shear failure, more like a fracture


I have more material - from the same lot - wondering if it's got internal cracking or if a crack started in the threads


I'll make 2 new front ones, replace broke one and other one and keep other one for spare

then I'll take the broke one and make it for the rear which is shorter and replace one of the rear ones and keep it as a spare.  the rears should be harder to get a direct impact on them like that
