Last summer I did some 'drill stops' and riveted in some reinforcement metal strips around some curved areas where stress cracks happened. I thought it was all plastic -
until I drilled it and got a good look at what came out.
It
seems to be a fiberglass core (at least in the high stress areas) with molded plastic around it.
