Would you ride these forks?

I have some RST Mozo Pro forks that I got out of the parts pile to use, but the brace has cracked by one of the three mounting points, same place on both fork legs:

Given that there are three pointing points, would you use these? I'm fairly light and not a hooligan. The forks still work well and the elastomers are in good condition.
 
Usable? yes. Would I use them? no, cheap enough to source another brace.
 
They’re probably fine.. probably.. but a set of forks collapsing on you at the wrong time is no joke.

I suspect you wouldn’t have posed the question here at all if you felt totally chill about riding them.. so I also suspect you know that the sensible thing to do is replace the part - or the fork..
