Good luck.

I was just guessing on the alloy. The only markings I have ever seen are Al/Si/Mg.
I would have to assume the Silicon content is higher than the mag. The ALMag 35 I listed is the closest thing I could find. I would also assume that if the MAg is lisited it would more than 2% but less than the Silicon content.

6061 is billet aluminum. Most all of the Porsche Alloys minus the Fuchs are pressure cast. They don't give a reference number on the alloy other than Al/Si/Mg.
