Steel I think, are you needing to know for welding purposes?

Yes because I broke a bracket off today :-((

Pretty sure it's steel remember welding brackets on a Capri axle with the mig!

Don't worry you aren't the first and you won't be the last, Have seen them leak due to cracking aswell
I believe its steel but i don't know to what spec.

Steel, the rust gives it away.

Surprisingly thin steel as well, as I discovered when one of my brackets fractured.
Very easy to mig back on though.
