I would imagine he dropped it. Get a new one. You couldn't weld it anyway you'd have to balance it afterwards and I'm not even sure who would do that for you.

Most rotors will rust, (unless they are anodized or something ???) but should be replaced before they become very brittle and warped. Having something that brittle on your car is prolly a hazard. I would just go buy all new rotors and save yourself the pain in the *** that could occur if you fool around with that rotor.

in that case you can get a roll of duct tape at the 99cents store and tape it up, cheaper than welding

but please do replace that, if u want cheap just goto vatozone and get their cheapest one.

Yeahhhhhh...go ahead and weld it back together...Darwin can go ahead and finish the job Yo.

Hhahaha...but seriously yo...you need to not skimp on your rotors dog. Go ahead and get a new one.

Just imagine yourself driving down the road and you hear a pop and then you all up in the weeds.

Sweeeeet...I wouldnt have trusted a welding job on something as important as a rotor...though you might save a few dollars getting it welded...imagine how much you would spend if it broke while driving and caused you an accident.
