[TR] Early TR4 windshield cap and cockpit trim

Oh yeah, I forgot that nickel is magnetic!  If the parts are triple-plated brass, that could explain all the observations as well.

   There is such a thing as chrome-plated stainless, by the way.  Google finds about 56,000 hits for that phrase.  Maybe it's shinier than raw stainless, or a slightly different hue?  Dunno.

   But, chrome-plated brass would appear to be the simpler explanation.
   Thanks everybody for your input.

be the nickel in the "triple chrome" that is providing the attraction?

Chroming stainless just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
