There is 4 Porsche breakers within 1 hour of me and I've seen crashed cars with broken aluminium arms at 2 of them. They fractured at the bearings. I would not consider narrowing these arms. I have a pair in my garage along with some flared wings but I have decided to stick with stock Day Moulding wings and steel arms. As an Engineer I ruled out narrowing in an instant. The boundries of the cooling weld will render the part useless. I have no idea what the alloy contents are for these arms.

I may use these arms on a 1200cc GL trike with a narrowed T1 torsion housing, T1 axle shafts and 2 HUGE Cup wheels. One day maybe...
