Hmm. I don't know, the 63 Spitfire I bought has an alloy one. I plan on
using it in the 70 if I ever get around to finishing it. The only thing I
don't like about it is that the cast in counter bores for the bolt heads
are really too small and it makes it difficult to get a wrench around
because of fouling the casting -
