All:
I'm perusing my pack of parts, preparing to properly proof them against
corrosion (sorry, couldn't keep up the alliteration), and wonder how one
determines the difference between Aluminum, Steel, and Stainless Steel.
Aside from the obvious weight difference between Alu and Steel, there
appears to be a distinct grain to the surface of steel parts, but not a
clear difference between regular and Stainless steel.
In the tail kit, for example:
XTW12 - aluminum, by weight and lack of grain
XTW09 - steel, regular? by weight and grain
TP16 - steel, but Steve G. sez it's stainless
XA2 - aluminum
Any hints?
Thanks,
Shaun Simpkins
