Socket fabrication from A36 MS plate
Socket fabrication from A36 MS plate
(OP)
Since there a non availability of a particular size open type socket readily in the stores, I am contemplating to fabricate the same from the subject plate.
I would to have your opinion/advise if the plate will withstand when 350 Nm torque is applied. The socket will be connected to 3/4" torque.

350 Nm isn't all that high, but you're working with the lowest class of steel, so I wouldn't get my expectations too high...

The first thing to establish is whether the size needed really isn't available. What size is the fastener that the wrench is needed for,
Ebyate?

36mm is printed on it....

Given that the size difference is not listed, I think my suggestion is reasonable. If it is a 3" opening on the "socket" and a 3-1/16" opening is needed, then maybe. Not so much if there is a big difference between the available and the desired. Too many unknowns, to not consider all avenues before ruling them out.

That's my suggestion, anyway. Analysis would seem to be too involved and time-consuming to be feasible (or warranted) in the situation you describe.

Have you tried finding an 1-5/8" (41.275mm)? 1-5/8"crowfoot.
If you've already explored those options, I apologize.
Edit: I just set up an order from from Amazon, addressed to Kuwait City, and it showed an estimated delivery (AmazonGlobal Priority shipping) between Jan 15th and the 22nd.
Edit #2: I just realized you said you were using a 3/4" drive and you needed to apply 350Nm torque, which I had to convert to ft-lbs to get a sense of the magnitude (it's 258 ft-lbs, in case anyone is interested). So, you'd need an adapter that withstand the torque. I found one of those on Amazon, too. If you look at the Q&A, the adapter can handle that torque easily.
