You may think you are seeing rust but I inspected this piece myself front and back there is no rust. That spot you see was later wiped off with my hand. Some of you guys act like I am trying to dump this stuff on you. Not the case, I could sell this stuff with much less effort on ebay and for more money. The few times that I got parts together 2 backed out and 1 actually bought the part. As of now I am done with this. PM me if you are serious about buying a part. Otherwise it's time for me to move on.
