I need to make some kickstart levers for a 1960's Italian Parilla motorcycle. Being Italian, they looked good but didn't last too long as the long "arm" of the starter was flimsy and small in section and not of the best quality. I am only doing 6 of them and was going to use EN36 which can be case hardened to make it strong. Unfortunately, I cannot source any EN36 in plate form as it is now only available in round section. The plate I need is 3" x 1" x 7" to make a blade which will be 3/4" in section along its length. (There is a bend at each end, hence the 3" width). Heating and bending is not an option due to one of the bends being 90 degrees and tight. I know there will be a lot of swarf, but this is the most efficient way of making a small batch as well as being an interesting project.
Any ideas what could be a suitable alternative? I did find some EN24t, but would prefer to case harden the 36, rather than through harden the 24. Any ideas for a UK based suppliers alternative? Many thanks
