Default 70 wiper mechanism material

Could someone tell me what the wiper operating assembly mount points where the Allen screws that hold the grill is made off ?
Pot metal or aluminium?
Where the screws hold the grill in front of wiperdoor are broke out at the corners
Thanks
Wes

I thought that all of the wiper door parts were made of cast aluminum. The wiper door mechanism pieces have to be made of aluminum. Pot metal could not stand up to the pressure and would snap. Lou.

I had my headlight "U" supports TIG welded at work and our maintenance welder said that the aluminum was very dirty and hard to weld. Just a heads up. Lou.
