All my brass nipples are the same color as my aluminum ones. BTW, what are they coated with, nickel?
And if you don't have a scale, or have the nipples side by side to compare, how can you tell between
the two? It's pretty easy to feel the difference if you have them both in hand.
If they're on a wheel how do you tell the difference?
