Replacing a rotor in my 88. Found this on ebizzle to replace it. It seems to be in good condition, but I figured I'd get a more expert opionion.

Let me know what you guys think. If this is in the wrong place, my bad. I know it's an E from the stamp in the picture, which is the stamp I need.

 

looks like a display piece to me, someone left it sitting outside in a lake of water for it to turn to a pile of goo then figured "hey now that it's seasoned i can throw it on ebay for some sucker to buy"

it's rusted to ****, everywhere. the seals are going to be stuck and you may wind up destroying the rotor just trying to get them out anyways, regardless of the rust damage already present. you can see they tried to get a few seals out already and then gave up.

"This has been stored inside a building for about 10 years."
i'm calling bullshit on this quote right now, i have stored rotors in my shop for 10 years and they don't look like that... but i certainly am glad it comes from a smoke free home!


if you don't mind paying a bit extra and need an E rotor i'm pretty sure i have one that isn't a pile of junk.

 

That would be fantastic! I just need one because I have one that is already in great shape. Let me know!

 

alright, i'll see what i got then and get back to you.

edit: sending you a PM

 

It looks like it sat outside for 10 years...........some free home lol

 

Hey now, a garden shed with a hole in the roof and resident opossum is still technically a building...

 

Thanks for the input guys! A forum member has come through and is awesome.
