Is that corrosion where the slave mounts, or is that just a casting imperfection?

Where? Looks just like normal crud and casting roughness to me.

I could care less if you polish a turd.
If I need one (and I HAVE needed one!) as long as it's not a greasy mess, I'm taking it home.

While this item is not for sale to millions of people on eBay, someone needs it.
I bought my dirty, nasty junkyard one for $100 20 years ago.
And sold the one from my grenaded T-19 for $50 + shipping to some guy in Massachusetts whose son decided to jump the truck, back in '11 -I believe. (It was cleaned up like yours)
I could have asked more, but with a Zf-5 I didn't need it and hoped to pay it forward.

I think $250 as is, where is, is a really good deal.

Ok guys, thanks!  It looks like $450 is the typical asking price, and it should fetch more than $250.

Shaun - Pretty sure that isn't corrosion, but can you point out where you are seeing something and I'll look more closely?

[salans7]

Probably just casting roughness, but curiosity strikes.

I can get a better pic tomorrow, but here 'tis enlarged:

Here's another shot.  Looks like the edges of the casting are off.  Is that an issue?

[Ford F834]

I would think not... as long as the clip holds the slave securely in place. The whole assembly has to “float” a bit anyway.

Edit: it looks like chipping from prying the slave out. Not from the pry tool but from the slave or clip being cocked and applying pressure to the hard corner of the casting.

You are intelligent, Jonathan!

Thanks, Jonathan.
