obviously a random annealed bar stock alloy will be soft as shite. and if you are using a ring of it, it will have even less strength due to the cross-sectional area.
with alloy, you can either upspec the alloy (like 6000 series frinstance, with suitable T6? treatment) which gives it more strength, or you can increase the area of the part, which also gives it strength.
if i was worried about weight, AND damage from repeated pounding, i'd use a combination, ie a thick walled alloy tube of decent spec, and a steel washer type spacer, maybe 3-4mm thick, to spread the load from the base of the shock. for the top of the shock, i'd prefer to cut the tube down (and keep the shocks stroke), but if i had to use a spacer, i would probably use steel, as often only a thinosh wall tube will fit around the shock rod.
yeah, seems to go ok, great power from 5500-7500+. not sure if ignition will go on before japan, but it will go on when i come back. need suspension.. need T50... need many things
