I think Keith was leaning towards the stainless steel as more durable for application, but he may not have reached a final decision which would be dependent on the cost? Brass works fine, but it is much more sensitive to damage. If given a choice I'd go with stainless steel as it would be easier to handle and add a bit more support for the plastic masts.Originally Posted by Gunner
I am inclined to agree with the stainless option as long as we can cut it off the sprue easily.

Good point. I think Keith mentioned that stainless might not be as pliable for working with. Cutting off the sprue might be an issue.
Side cutting pliers will do the job, but I'm not sure how long they will last.
We have to remember that Stainless steel is actually failed armour plate. I have seen it burn out High speed steel drills.
