The brake material is not dictated in the LVV requirements, but the components must be purposely designed for automotive application. The general safety requirements also state:
"vehicles must be properly designed and constructed using materials and components that are fit for their purpose".
Wilwood are a well known and reputable brand. Their hubs are forged aluminium.
This is not to say that aluminium brake hubs can be produced by anyone. Brakes are obviously critical components so the manufacturer must ensure that they are fit for purpose.
