Old rotor warning to throw away?

sKenDread · Post by **sKenDread** » Sun Jun 02, 2019 7:22 pm

Does anyone have an old rotor they would want to ditch?
This is gonna sound messed up but my wife wants to make a cake for club meets and I thought it would be cool if I get a rotor, cast a silicone mold/ food grade of one side and make that into a cake icing xxx

Chris Holmes has at least one scrap rotor in stock, I saw that one yesterday.

No hiding places in this club! Just the logistics of delivery to sort between Cheltenham & ????

Then after you have made a cake mold - time for something else to do with it.

I'm in Evesham and have one you can borrow. Would want it back, though

Next few weeks are looking a bit hectic for me but I will put a rotor on one side ready for whatever we arrange.

I could probably help out with this.
Mother and Father in law live up in Staffordshire so I could drop it off on way up.
I’m going to Chris’s late next week to pick up other stuff so can pick that up as well.

That would be cool if you if you can. I'm a bit full on for a coupe weeks too. Just finished Monster trucks this morning, rod Stewart this evening. Next big one is Bon Jovi on the 23rd. Having server performance issues uugh

I will let you know when I have picked up from Chris and when my next Mil/Fil visit is so we can tie up a time for drop off.

Never occurred to me to send it up with Nichola on Monday when she came up to the Spice Girls!

Oh no way. Haha I hope she managed to get around okay. And she enjoyed the show.

Onsite management and logistics operations were diabolical to put it nicely.

They said it was excellent, sound was good after hearing reports that at other venues they sounded poor.

Rod Stewart & Blow-wave Bon Jovi.. Cruel and unusual punishment,indeed

..anyway..other uses for old rotary engine parts..

..this is mine

Oh cool that's good to hear man. Temperature also effects tonal qualities. It's quite difficult to generate large cover sweet spots. I think they managed to get it right in the arena. It can be quite hit and miss
