I'm looking for a place that I can buy bad housings from to practice porting on. Anyone have some info as to what the best place (based on price and responsiveness to emails) to get some from?



Thanks,

Jeremy

I am interested, but want junk ones so I can get them for cheap. I'm just trying to practice. PM with a price if you have some you want to sell. Thanks!

I've got piles of the bastards you can have free. Just the shipping will cost you hundreds!



I think I took apart 30 motors that were half blown/totally blown/corroded etc.



I took a trailer-load of bits (like 1.5 tonnes) to the scrap metal place last year!



Not helping, am I?
