Weight of Aluminum front cross member

Does anyone have an aluminum front cross member they could weigh and let me know the weight?
I'm assembling an older car that has the older steel crossmember, just wondering about weight savings?

Thanks

I just weighed mine for you. 4lbs 10 oz Scale is +- 3oz accurate It should be noted that I powdercoated mine clear. So likely weighs about 4lbs in the raw.

What does the steel x member weigh?

I was always told 7lb weight savings but never measured myself. It's low on the front so not as important as other parts.

6.6 lbs. less than the steel piece

above is for the cast Al - if someone wants to send me a forged Al RS crossbar then I'll weigh it and test it...
