I used the forklift contactors in the ForkenSwift.

I kept the steering motor, but haven't used it for anything (after abandoning my electric boat motor conversion).

Also kept the forklift controller, but again, haven't used it for anything.

The scrap value of the parts is probably the best direction to take.
