DavidJose1 Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 Hello, I have a 50s plymouth and I just noticed that it had a metallic steering wheel column holder that is non magnetic, do you guys know if this is just aluminum? Pic inside and I put finger close to show the part Quote
clarkede Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 I'm going to chime in and guess it is some form of Pot Metal that was commonly used to inexpensively cast various (often intricate) parts. If you look up the definition of pot metal, you will see that it is not magnetic and is basically a mix of iron, zinc, copper, lead and other scrap metals. 1 1 Quote
Bob Riding Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 Agree- pot metal. I had mine powdered coated to match the dash and the coaters confirmed it. 1 1 Quote
