Disposing of old parts Reply #5 – May 29, 2006, 08:28:04 PM Now is a good time to get rid of any brass, copper, aluminum, etc that you have lying around, too - copper is up to about $2.50 a pound right now! The demand for s metal of all sorts has skyrocketed over the past year.One thing to remember, though - to get the most money, remove any steel that may be attached (like, in the case of radiators, the core supports on top & bottom). They really screw ya if you've got any steel on your copper, brass or aluminum... Quote Selected

Disposing of old parts Reply #7 – May 30, 2006, 09:33:44 AM Maybe I will take my old S.O. intake by the metal yard. It weights a couple pounds at least. It's not worth anything b/c everybody wants the H.O. parts. Quote Selected
