Aluminum FC water pump?

DO they make them? I found one for my FB at the wrecker, but have not seen one for the FC.
Thanks,
Chris

No, seriously, Mazda Comp used to make one - I dunno if they still offer it.
It was something crazy like $400+ for something that saves you like 4 lbs.
It was for those looking to shave those last few, hard-to-find pounds off your race car.
