Rotor Ornament?

[B.Martin]

Anyone else used a busted rotor as like a wall display instead of a pic? I recon 3 would look awesome in my front room, how much does a busted rotor fetch? I\'m assuming you CAN still polish up a busted rotor and make it look new again like? Thoughts anyone?

interesting thought, i have seen rwd gearboxes turned into stools

i have a polished one of my old ones on the window sill in our conservatory

Im going to do something with the scrap rotor from my engine - polishing it up sounds like hassle tbh, i was thinking about a sparkle powdercoat and turn it into a table or something.
 
The rotor surface supporting a circular or rotary shaped pane of toughened glass?

It\'s the actual triangle shaped rotors I think would look best. Mitch has a good idea, as does Fez. Apparently there is a guy in pafos that rebuilds RE so perhaps I\'ll see if he has a few spare, surely a busted rotor can\'t be worth much?

to be honest thats why i bought a busted engine

1 - to actually see how it all works and fits together
2 - see if i can polish something of it and use it for a clock or a paperweight

Difficult to polish cos they\'re steel and the machining marks resist taking a brilliant level of polish unless you\'re willing to spend years on it or have some industrial orbiters to hand, but if you keep them inside and give them a once-over with Pledge every so often they keep their shine pretty well.

Rather like Liam, I seem to have a surfeit of rotors and housings, some more decorative than others :rolleyes:
