Does anybody know what Holley throttle levers are made of?

As stated in the title, I would like to know what metal the throttle levers on new Holley carbs are made of. It looks like brass, but I just wanna double check.

I mean these thingies.

Cadmium plated steel

Yes that is not brass....It would be too soft....Plated steel as stated

 

[DusterDale]

Yep its Cad plated. For some reason the ones I've had never held up well and got rusty and corroded. About 30 bucks to replace. Anchorage huh I grew up there. Go Bartlett!

Thanks guys! It looks like putting a tap through one of the holes will be no problem then.
