I hope this does not reignite anything untoward, but as promised I am sharing the reply I received from GenRight...

Hi [UKTJ],
Thanks for the email.
Funny people are debating the grade of aluminum.
We purposely don’t disclose what we really use to throw off our competitors.
In reality all the public needs to know is that it is aluminum.
Everyone needs to stop trying to puff their chest and relax. We know what we are doing. "
I have just sent the following back to GenRight...

Hi [GenRight]
Thanks for your reply, especially such a quick one over the weekend, very impressive!
I think the issue may be that it is not actually correct to say that you don't disclose the grade of aluminium, in fact it is the first point made under the features section talking about the stubby bumper, where your website says "Super lightweight 6061-T6 Aluminium". I guess from what you say this shouldn't be listed on the website, but I think it is this statement that is causing the confusion / debate.
I take it from your email that the bumper is not made from 6061-T6 and I understand that from a commercial point of view you may well not want to disclose what specific type of aluminium you use. I also completely get that you are far more expert than I am in the properties of various forms of aluminium, but from what I do know different grades of aluminium can have very different properties and give significantly different levels of performance, particularly in extreme conditions. To some customers knowing what aluminium is used to make a bumper may be a material consideration in their purchase decision.
Again, many thanks for such a speedy reply, it is much appreciated.
Kind regards,"
No idea if I will get a further reply, in fariness I did not ask any further questions, but if I do I will share it. It will also be interesting to see if the bullet point in the features section about the bumper is removed or not.
