It's metal. Possibly 7075 aluminium https://ciamillo.shop/products/l8-ultra?variant=48690508857650
Good to hear that the mashed elbow is not an innovation. Thanks.

Is the threaded part metallic, composite or carbon? Using an alloy insert wouldn’t be difficult, so it’s an odd choice to use threaded tow-based discontinuous composite (aka ‘forged’ carbon fibre) for a threaded safety critical part, but it can be made quite strong. 🤷♂️
Quite a few calipers operate(d) on a similar principle, with duly mashed cables as a result. Not an elegant solution, at least.
