I have just unearthed a new front lower wishbone from the pile of new parts waiting to be fitted to an accident damaged m3w, and the weight of the new lower wishbone is 1910g.

JMD - +/-3mm isn't terrible - I have seen much worse.

If anyone had easy access to a new one to weigh, it would be you Steve!

Adding 400g or around 20% is a pretty big hike in wall thickness ... reassuring that it now should not bend/break but doesn't help unsprung weight.
