Default Anyone ever broke aluminum center section on 9 inch?

Hey guys, I found a Moser 9 inch from a local guy that has never been installed and it has the aluminum center section, but that makes me nervous. Has anybody broken one or heard of one breaking?
My car is not a daily driver but I do drive it quite a bit when the weather is nice and on the weekends, and also I make it to the track a few times a year.
Anybody with these setups wanna give me some first hand info?

The through bolt Moser cases are pretty damn strong. What size carrier bearing does this 3rd member have? If it's the 3.25" you will be limited to running a 35 or 40 spline locker or spool.

The Moser alum center is what we use on my Z28, shown here.

We will also be using the alum Moser center section on this GTO that should be making 2000 hp or so.
