Found another source for brass/bronze for brass hammers - I think...
I was over at a friends shop this past weekend, salvage yard and parts for diesel trucks, mostly Mack.
His dad was a master mechanic in a former life and he rebuilds components for the older stuff.
These were laying about all over the place in the shop, and he was working on a tranny when I was there.
I'm going to have to see if I can scrounge some more from him...
Wrist Pins from pistons, ~1.75 DIA. I figure it'll make a decent hammer.
