They show the anodized aluminum one on the Verus website and here's their description:
SPECIFICATIONS
CNC Machined
6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
Anodized Bright-Dip Black
Viton O-Ring for Ethanol and Gasoline Compatibility

Yeah, that is not what I got...
Please keep us updated on what they say! Verus is always revising their parts, but this is the first time I’ve seen them changed for the worse…thank you for doing the math on the density of the part materials.
