Ofcourse the metal part is not taken in account, this would add almost 2 kilo's to the 8.0 kg. The diamond wires are not dyform but just 1x19 wires almost 4 mm thick and the end cap is alloy but is adding 50 grams maximum to the weight, if it will reach 50 grams but i do not that excatly because i am not going to take it of , so i have to fix the mast. As told we supplied Valterri a wrong section and i did a check on this section and this mast is very close to the superwing section but has more wall thickness so when this mast is weighted then it could be that the tipweight is higher. Logic ofcourse. I do not know where the difference with your figures are coming from but you seems to be one of the people who has a light alloy section. Lucky you.
