Jamesy Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Unfortunately i might have to steer away from the RSR as much as it pains me as i do love it, but this thread has revealed its only mild steel centre and i wanted full s/steel http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=197811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I had my mechanic test the RSR today. He reckons the entire thing is S/S and tested with a magnet. Let me know if you want it and we can arrange a swap. I want something quieter so that's perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Mild steel is also magnetic. But Stainless steel isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 But Stainless steel isn't. is that right? we put the magnet ALL over it and it wouldnt stick at all......whereas when he put it onto some mild steel center section it was gripping and sticking to that...
