The only issue is that one of them has a substantial chip mising out of the outer flange. The idea is to build up the mising piece with a few weld beads and grind to shape. The question is; can anyone tell me if these are aluminum or magnesium and what composition of aluminum might they be or how do I find out. Thanks: Michael in Maine
