TBH I just used the link as a picture. It does seem very cheap, theyre probably fairly soft and wont last long but probably fine for DIY stuff. Stainless steel are better but are expensive. Id go for them though at that price for 10 I seriously doubt it! |

Nice one Matty. Get a fine warding file for finishing edges and deburring it looks great I seriously doubt it! |

It depends if the housing makes part of the motor as per a starter or wiper motor I seriously doubt it! |

Don't they just house the field windings? Basically just a big sleeve? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Most motor bodies carry an electrical field. I tried thinning down a wiper motor outer housing as much as possible and it just went very slow with no torque, plus my sparky mate at Astons said theyre thick steel for a good reason - that was the reason I seriously doubt it! |

Bi late for the suggestion Matt, but dipping the file in paraffin after each few strokes will keep it from clogging -try it. |

Ah thats that idea put to bed then! I thought there would be some reason behind them being such a lump of metal, but couldn't think why.

Something like duck oil also works quite well when filing ally, as anyone who saw me in action on Simons plenum at Avon will testify.

I keep a few blocks of chalk handy to wipe over the teeth of my files. Work's a treat. Own the day
