Acquired a box of 914 parts and there were two Bosch starters (good bit of rust on housing).
Are these of any value as cores for rebuilding or should they be scrapped/recycled?  |

A lot of our major FLAPS offer Bosch remanufactured starters and alternators so they must still be doing it. My problem is there are no rebuilders local to me and these things have been occupying precious storage space for several decades now. I've hung onto them all this time for all the reasons people have posted here, but I need the shelf space. |
