My advice is DON'T. Use 'em for shows, but buy modern repros ( Panasport 
Racing is close enough) for racing. If you do want to , crack test 
regularly.
Halibrands are in repro too!
I might add to this thread that my DNF at Mt. Tremblant was the failure of a 
part that nobody has ever broken on an Alfa, but this was a part that had 
many years of SCCA racing on it before I put over 3000 miles of racing on it 
too. This stuff all has a limited lifetime...
