Where to buy new water outlet (thermostat bracket) for GSL SE.

Pulled the coolant hoses, and saw that it's really corroded, so I figured I'd buy a new one and replace. However I can't find anyone that has carries it. Eventually called up Mazda, and they said it's discontinued. What? All the other ones are available. For 12A and second gen 13B. Why is this one not? What are my options?

Atkins should have it, and they are in your neighborhood (tacoma)

Cool, thanks. I'll try Atkins on Monday.

But also what about the 12A one? Will it really not work? It has the same footprint and will likely bolt up. Only difference is that it has a curved neck, and 13B one has a straight neck. It's just odd to me that only the GSL SE version is not available.
