Alloy bonnet....
Other than purely by weight......is there any other way of telling the difference between an alloy and a steel bonnet??
Purely for car breaking/ebay purposes....
Trying to decipher if this guy has an alloy bonnet- it is from an imported STI so it SHOULD be....but you never know in some cases (or if infact he really does have an STI!!)
Cheers,
Chris

Yes, stick a magnet on it or try to, if alloy then it will not attach, use some magnetic (kids) alphabet type letters the sort you see on fridge doors and that will work.
These also work for spotting filler/repair work on cars especially areas like wheel arches

Cheers guys- I would obviously be able to tell by the weight but the guy breaking isn't sure how light "light" is.....
I will get him to try a magnet on it and see

The magnet leaves no room for doubt whatsoever it sticks to steel and falls straight off of alloy when released.

Shouldn't that be
You'd need to be one dumb motherf*cker to be unable to understand the OPs point about Other than purely by weight......is there any other way of telling the difference between an alloy and a steel bonnet??
Perhaps with a magnet then

Apparently alloy bonnets float on larva hence another potential source of checking ...

I'd stick (or not as the case may be) with the magnet
