Based on my recent neutral safety switch replacement and being under the car, the center section is probably cast iron. From what I can see (see photo below), if the center section was painted, it was probably painted silver, not black. This is a photo that I have in my "archives" (not mine - somebody with a 56 Desoto 2dr): (PowerfliteTransShowingNeutralSafetySwitch_NotHookedUp.jpg) Attachments ---------------- PowerfliteTransShowingNeutralSafetySwitch_NotHookedUp.jpg (158KB - 30 downloads)
