C-605 Drawing 53 Material Question

My drawing does not show material and thickness ... is it made from 4130N - 0.040 steel ?

It is the link for the tip up canopy lock mechanism ....
 
Thats 2024 alum .125 thick.

Missed your email, sorry. Its aluminum plate .125 2024. Two short 4130 steel links are bolted to the middle hole as well as to WD617 canopy lock. The top hole holds the bearing that screws into the threaded connecting tube going to the handle mechanism on the side of the fuselage. The bottom hole bolts to the two C-623 brackets you put on the bulkhead. That C-605 is a flat piece of aluminum. The steel links can have a twist in them depending on how you mount everything.
