    I'd use it. I'd probably throw a bead of weld on the outside, just to thicken that area back up.
    Actually, I'd weld that cut and sand it back down with a cartridge roll on a Dremel or die grinder if you have one.

    Yea I’ll probably do that I was just going to use these as spares because I installed aftermarket ones
