PaulFZS might have something to say about that...
Never mind that the ally rod itself is in no way up to the job, the real weak point is where the rose joints fix to it. I had a similar rod on an RG500 gearshift linkage snap at the rose joint thread, and that was just due to a notchy gearbox. If it couldn't take even that much pressure...imagine the forces being applied to a torque arm, and the fatigue that will quickly build up. I would not rely on that as a permanent solution.
