The rotors are made of nodular Iron. Have the local welder TIG weld the holes shut.



Done it many times. No problems at all. Won't hurt the balance enough to notice.

Picture is an aluminum end plate and removable wear surface used for rotary aircraft engines. No you cannot have one. Cuts the weight of the engine about in half.
