Eric,
I don't know of any other completely metal parts, but there is the
"weighted" brick in the 4552, which is basically a heavy piece of metal
covered by a plastic studded shell.

| (...) Yeah, these are probably similar to (or the same as) the bazillion 'weight elements' I ordered from Pitsco (over 11 lbs total of 2x6x2 black weighted bricks). Definitely metal encased in plastic. eric (24 years ago, 27-May-00, to lugnet.build)
