Clamp is still alloy. Also the direction that come with the clamp on FD give the torque specs for the clamping bolt.

It also seems to me that if the FD slipped and turned into the chainring that the much more fragile carbon cage wold break rather than the clamp or that the hinge pin would go before the clap itself.

Might try posting over on the campyonly forum - http://www.campyonly.com/phpBB2/index.php to see if anyone over there has a clue. I did a quick search but nothing turned up.
