<VV> engine lid support

[Marc Sheridan]

A while back I asked the list if the engine lid support is made out of 
stainless steel. Some said no, some said maybe. Whatever it is, it 
polished up pretty good. The inner sliding part has a better finish 
after the polishing. The outer part had some undercoating over spray on 
it that seems to have pitted the metal and it didn't polish out. The 
button for the release looks like it is chrome plated.

Thanks to all that replied.
