What is a K6 chain guard made from ?

Just like it says.
What is the OE chain guard for a K6 originally made from, steel or plastic  ?
Silvers are selling an ABS replica, but I've been told that it's a bit fragile compared to the original.
No idea if that's true or not

Just grabbed a used steel one.
Again from the same breakers that I bought the bike from.
They're making a small fortune selling me bits, which are probably the ones they removed from the bike in the first place.
They've probably got the centre stand put to one side waiting for me to buy it, but too bad, I've already got one from a K7
