Brake Pivot and Linkage

[kvanderploeg]

Can anyone tell me if the stock brake pivot and driven linkage on a 1980 with disc rear would be stainless? They are magnetic, but I know that's not a final test. I also don't see any sign of corrosion or rust on these parts. If they are stainless, I'd just polish them instead. Thanks!

I am pretty sure they are plated with something, zinc maybe?

Now that could be. It's a very uniform finish. Much smoother than most zinc and cad plated parts I've seen.

I think they are just cad plated.
