I've got a couple of Pankl conrods from my SP4 and there's a question over what material they're made from. Steel or titanium? Can any of you eggheads help?

Mine are grey in colour (see pic) and weigh in at 500g each on my kitchen scales (which will not be totally accurate)

Cheers

They look look Ti but the Pankl I have here, albeit a different design weighs 378g.
Try the magnet test

DOH!!
Why didn't I think of that?
Yep - magnet sticks - that'll be steel then?

Cheers!

Fred....don't worry , you'll probably find that half of the viewers of your original post didn't think of that one either

And of course nobody will ever mention it on here ever again
