gee, as far as i know, the strap is made of brass-or actally, bronze-with a mild steel bottom pin and buckle.
it has to made of a non-conducting material where it touches the magnets, such as brass, as it contacts the generator...and steel would ground it out-not to mention eventually depolorise the magets themselves...
need me to be closer with my answer?
cheers,

The material is tombak (also spelled tombac by some). The purpose is to have a nonferrous material that won't siphon off the magnetic strength of the exposed permanent magnets. A steel band, for example, would become magnetized and reduce the magnetic field in the coil of the magneto.
