in lieu of a biteAnyone else in Aus who has taken delivery of their Grenadier care to tap on the bracket with a coin or screwdriver (or give ‘em a bite with your pearly whites) to confirm they are some kind of metal?

Would you believe thermoplastic or polymer coated metal????in lieu of a bite... a "subtle" indentation with a small screwdriver suggests they're formed from some sort of high density polymer material... I'm not up on my polymer chem. these days to identify exactly what sort of polymer it might be. The bar probably aluminium alloy. The concave liner of the "Alpine" cavity however appears to be a vinyl material.
If it's metal then it's not ferromagnetic.. I used a fairly strong magnet.. there was no "attraction"...Would you believe thermoplastic or polymer coated metal????
Also tried and definitely not magnetic. Some cast aluminium maybe powdercoated?If it's metal then it's not ferromagnetic.. I used a fairly strong magnet.. there was no "attraction"...![]()
They are not, but if you like we can produce this part for you in military grade aluminium, stainless steel or even titanium.I have pulled them off to install my uhf antenna, pretty sure they are plastic.i was thinking of getting some metal ones fabricated...
I doubt, but I will be in Brisi mid of August and will find out what the have done down under...@Black Sheep FYI if you get enquiries from AU. See above re the handrail brackets being plastic for AU vehicles.![]()

The photos make this easy to imagine that they do:There is a misconception that the BSI rack is attached to the lashing tube.
If we raise the beam, we get away from the plastic strips and shift the entire load to the outer tubes.
I thought the same thing until I saw one their more recent videos. The idea of using the grab handle fixing points to secure an awning is something I'm going to investigate once I get my hands on the vehicle.The photos make this easy to imagine that they do:
