14 Gauge bare wire (30” If you make no mistakes in bending)
17 Gauge bare wire for grab irons and brake lines.

2mm (12 Gauge) rod (I used carbon fiber because, well just because I had it)

6mm rod for truck pins (I suppose you could print this but I wanted a strong part so I cut small bits of 6mm ABS)
