You know what? I was completely wrong! The original Fatboy did not have plastic parts. What I thought was a plastic collar on mine is the end of a blued metal collet. What I thought was a red plastic index pin is a red-colored metal spring.

Later Gillette Adjustables had a bunch of plastic (baseplate, handle) but not the old Fatboy. Sorry I got it wrong!
