Gordon,

Be very careful driving the car, as those aluminum bananas are crack-prone when hitting something with a rear wheel! They typically crack, rather than bend -- the way the steel arms would! There is no significant weight savings with the permanent-mold aluminum part, the reason for going to the aluminum was speed/ease of production ... the steel arms were hand-made by craftsmen in small job-shops, and aren't heavy at all!
