Listers;

I was reading Graham Robson's Triumph Spitfire & GT6 last night and he 
mentions that when the engineers switched to the Rotoflex suspension on the 
MkII 
they used an aluminum casting for the lower suspension arm. I have a GT6+ and 
when I disassembled and cleaned my Rotoflex suspension components I found my 
arm 
covered with rust. So my assumption is that the material is a cast 
steel......does anyone know if there was ever a cast aluminum arm? Seems like 
the wrong 
material for a suspension arm. Forged aluminum I'd buy into but I don't think 
they were using that kind of technology in late '60's UK auto design.
