I have some secondary rods stamped "AX" that are different than any I have seen before. The had a dull grey appearance, and I saw what appeared to be light rust in areas. Sure enough, they are magnetic and appear to be steel?!?
Has anyone ever seen steel rods before? Measuring and comparing to brass current aftermarket "AX" rods, all dimensions look the same. They have the slot that was used on the early rods. This is a new one for me, as I thought all factory rods were plated brass.
