The stuff I've seen is either silver or copper colored,  I'm guessing the
former is aluminum,  maybe?  The stuff I have is copper-colored.  I meant
to check it out with a meter and see if it was in fact conductive
electrically as well as doing its mechanical function.  At the time I was
dealing with wipers that had gotten flaky,  and then stopped working
altogether when I needed them.

The trouble there turned out to be rust on the bolt and flat surfaces where
the wiper motor took its ground connection.  A wire brush and swapping the
bolt out with one of the other three fixed the problem quite nicely.

I never did test the stuff as I couldn't find it,  it's around someplace, 
but I have stuff up here,  stuff in the trunk of the car,  stuff in the
back of the truck,  stuff in the shed...

I look forward to when we get situated and I have a garage to put all that stuff in!
