I use cast alum parts on my cars, many times.
A lot of people ask me about the strength of these parts.Of cource I couldnt compare billet - cast, alum.
But with the right metal choice I can make stength and elasticity , cast alum parts.
No small holes,with elasticity is that I want.
So, I made two cast alum parts (using Vass 's alum secret formula....), one for a crash test and one hub, for spare use.
Watch it.

The hub on lathe and the bright metal. No holes.
