Actually, the beams used for the BBC Buggy (which is of course F-T) are
metal of some flavour rather than plastic, so they've been around that
way for a good 20 years now. (I assume you mean that the beams were
originally plastic? I've never seen that much of the stuff around)
Your comments make me wonder what the history of the buggy was though -
did it start out as a F-T kit in its own right, or was it a joint effort
between F-T / Acorn / the BBC and designed specifically with the BBC
Micro in mind?
(from memory options to use them with RML hardware existed too, though)

Real real nerds
have grey and red colored Fischer-Technik.
What other coulour is there? I've seen black gears (but most of mine are
the old red ones), and they even have aluminium alloy beams I think now.
