That is just regular old steel stock. The nuts may have been a higher grade but I can't remember. Might be best to use a grade 8 nut for attaching to the suspension rod. When you screw the tool to the Suspension Rod, be sure you get it all the way on.
Our T-16 came out of Europe via a museum here in the states. It was not a swiss carrier to the best of my knowledge. It was "restored" (HA!) before it came over here. But it did not have the correct engine, overheated a lot etc....
It was partly disassembled when we purchased it 15 yrs ago...... Just now getting to it.
