yes, they also age faster than normal metals making them brittle

Its a very nice set up but what concerns is availability of parts and durability!

that would be my concern too, as a very minimum i would want them chemically stripped and crack tested, even then I would be interested to know what the "life" of the part is, magnessium alloys do vary wildly dependant on there chemical make up, but given how easily they carrode I am not sure it is something i would take the risk with

fabrication wise, you could always make a couple of jigs off them and fabricate your own

that would be quite easy to copy those arms certainly a lot easier than mine

as for not liking magnessium ive got 7 mag wheels & the ones that ian jemison refurbished are mint 7 yrs on i have no concern at all with them being magnesium
