Those easily get damaged .. often by the long bolts that go through them.. from those bolts rusting into place in the 3 inch long holes they go through, or where they screw in. It's a somewhat rare/valuable part when you need one. I might have only 3 or 4 good ones .. at the highest, for a very decent used one....$ 75. at least $ 45.
