Nickel/Zinc cobalt plated Aluminum:

We provide the MIL and ASTM specs on the plating of these housings. why hasn't anyone bothered to google these specs?

Please, let's review the facts (in this case the specs), before a hasty judgement is passed.

The treatment we give these parts is Military grade, and it is now being used by many other industries, including of course the Military. It's expensive, but well worth it.

I'm sure that u did a great job with the coating, but many of us aren't familiar with alu in our loops. U should know it better as an American.
In Germany this would be totally acceptable...

If the performance is top notch, i may ditch my beloved Storm though...

Gabe, is there any reason for it other than looks?

And if its so expensive, wouldn't having a copper top that would provide the same secondary cooling effects be just as effective?

I wonder the same thing. Weight maybe a prob?
