stubblejumper , i didn' t say that it was plastic , in my post i said it appears to be aluminum , and that it doesn' t appear to be plastic as when i tap on it it makes a different sound than plastic would make , and quilly was the one who asked me if it was metal or plastic my friend , and i know that magnets won' t stick to aluminum , they also don' t stick to brass , or copper , i may have just worded it wrong in my reply to you , check my reply to quilly and you' ll see what i mean
