I'm probably guilty of reasoning backwards.  I've certainly scrubbed
red crud off spades up there so I still believe the spades are
steel.  Possibly ran down from windshield etc?  I'll take a look when
I get a chance, and start defrosting a crow.  I won't have the van
back for a few days though, to actually look at the things.

Any ones that are screwed on, steel or not, that's yet another place
for a bad connection to form; so they should be measured for quality
by a voltmeter when under load.
