One of the guys I work with, his boss build a trailer out of stainless and went on a camping trip to France, even though it didn't have a big load on it (just his tent and some gear) the chassis of the trailer had cracked around tubes near the suspension mounts and ended up left on the side of the road as it couldn't be repaired, he had copied a mild steel version so though it would have been ok, obviously it deals with stresses in a different manner.
Stainless is ok providing that you use the right grade . hytens1200 or somthing like it is the way to go. i would like to think that the guy who built it has done the research but point taken and will check it out. TT how can I tell if its a 2.2 without pulling the head off. is it a stroke or an overbore?
