Do they make stainless sheets of spring steel? in say 12 or 10 gauge? I was looking at the PRM YFZ swingarm guard and couldn't believe how thin the stainless was, My buddy and I figured it must be a spring steel.

Any sheet metal guys/engineers got any input?

His is stainless and definetely not .25" thick. Maybe I have the brand wrong.

Is it a pro tech, The middle piece is mostly flat and the outer pieces that protech the sprocket and rotor only had welds holding it on the middle piece at the top bottom and middle.

That's the one, sorry. That steel seems very strong for as thin as it is that's why I'm wondering if its spring steel. I have a 10ga. (.135) thick 304 stainless skid that bends on the edges if it hits rocks, but I just pound it back to shape.
