you want 33.7 x 2.6 for the bush tubes

and 25 x 2.5 cds for the wishbones

Some useful discussion from the RGB racers.

I'd go with 25x2mm-1"x14gauge minimum for the lower arm/wishbone and 19x2mm-3/4x14gauge for the toparm/wishbone. CDS cold drawn seamless is best but ERW is cheaper.

With the kind of questions your asking I wonder if you are better buy some thing off the shelf.
And if you need a spare you can replace it easy.

Bones get bent ......with the state of the potholes it aint getting any better....You only have to be unlucky once. Or in a good buddys case 3 times
