I've got one with 1 blown apex seal, the other is unknown condition. I can't see myself doing anything with these any time soon. What should I do with them?

7 hour drive, not sure what shipping costs would be that far. I'll mark it as "second to last resort". Last resort is scrap yard.

Do you own a boat? Might make for a nice anchor.

That would be awesome, but no.



If I get a bug up my butt one of these days I may disassemble them, and either sell the parts or take to the scrap yard (I hear they pay more if you separate aluminum from steel). Having a cleaned-up rotor and housing laying around would make a good conversation piece, too.

If its about the money, sell them to people on "the other forum".

I'd defiantly make a table out of one after it was cleaned up.
