Brass is certainly better and nicer than plated steel. However, nickel plated steel is correct for that motor. Correct parts are a very big deal to some collectors and the early A down tube is one of those parts. I’m not normally a stickler for correct parts, but this is one of the motors where I would try to find them. Serial number is important to Johnson A collectors. Your motor is only 1602 motors into production of one of the most important outboards in history. I would definitely use a brass down tube if I couldn’t find the correct steel tube, but I would always be on the lookout for the correct one. That’s just my two cents.
