Default Wishbone Manufacturing

Hi everyone, i'm new to this thread but in the middle of building a roadster .
The problem i'm having is i'll be starting the suspension in about a months time (final bit of welding to the chassis). I noticed the cutting of the wishbone tube and then shaping it to the threaded bar. I'm thinking this might take a while......but i'm reluctant in buying the wishbones as i want to make the car completely myself. So i put it to the guy's at my work, they suggested replacing the threaded round abr eith a threaded suare bar. So in effect you only have an angle to cut and no shaping needed. It will give me a good flat surface for welding.

Has anyone thought about this? Any drawback?
Or am i just getting cautious for no reason and the shaping isn't that hard at all?
P.S I haven't found a thread, but has anyone covered this before?
Thnaks in advance
Nathan
