I'd hold on to them because you may find a place that can fix them
correctly and you may need them one day. I have two extra heads myself,
one I had fixed but looks like the guy didn't do it right and I can't
take it back because they went out of business (does that tell you
something) If you do take them someplace to have them fixed, make sure
you get some references about their quality of work.
I would like to get my hands on a cast iron head if it will bolt on.
Does anyone know? What, if anything, needs to be modified and where can
I get one?
