Just a cautionary note/tip... You may find the the aluminium you've used (alloys aren't as bad) gets eaten away over time at the edges (where in contact with the steel end of the swing arm) by galvanic corrosion, weakening the structure. It'd be prudent to insulate the two different metals. You could use grease, a cut rubber sheet, but I use this stuff (muts nuts for this sort of thing)...

Good on any mixed metals in contact with each other and it'll keep your shiny new aluminiumm bling bits looking nice too! I have learnt the hard way about galvanic corrosion with aluminium/steel contact over 25 years of owning old series Land Rovers!
