dog bones

Now it is raining, I have been measuring up for some new dogbones.

What i need is some standard length dog bones i.e. 118mm between centres 7mm approx thickness, but made in a better material i.e. Stainless so that i can get them polished...

Any ideas anyone Either to get some made, (Water jetted) or off the shelf items from a moto x bike or road bike....

I know corso meccanica do some but they are 125mm between centres and for scorpion. and £37.22 each made in titanium i think seems like overkill to me....

C'mon you guys ideas.........

Cheers Jak

For what it is worth, the bones I am running and have been for years, are aluminium.

like it says on my webpage, I made them myself.
There you can drag and drop the simple drawing for those for the Skorpion (certianly no bid deal). For the Baggi, you'll have to change to a suitable length.
In german eBay, you 'll find a wealth of dogbone offers, both longer and shorter. Some are, I think, in stainless.

e.g.

stainless, these for lowering the seat height of the XT but he'll deliver any height.

Hi,

I am getting a local company to laser cut some of these if anyone is interested not sure of cost yet but will let everyone know when i get final costs.

They can also be mirror polished and etched with a logo..
