Paul Payne Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Does anyone know what alloy Ertl used in their 1946 Dodge power wagon models? I have disassembled mine and am in the process of removing the screw bosses. The alloy is incredibly hard- more like tool steel than diecast alloy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snake45 Posted Thursday at 07:20 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:20 PM I ran across a similar hard alloy when trying to disassemble a diecast '67 Chevelle. I ended up using a Dremel cutoff disk as a grinding wheel to remove them. The Dremel grinders either didn't work at all or worked much too slowly, I forget which, but the cutoff disk did the trick. Eye protection is mandatory with these, as they do occasionally break and fling off fragments at high speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
