Reuseable housings?

Hi Guys,
Just need some opinions on these 12a housings I have from a motor i've stripped, if they're reuseable?
I'm aware of the Goopy Performance procedure, don't really wanna go down that track at the moment.

Slight pitting on the face of the housing, my fingernail doesn't grab when I run my finger over it, but can definately feel the pit with my finger.


Only mark are on the outer edges as you can see, none of the housing is flaking at all.


Cheers
Andrew

You can't get new 12A housings anymore. Use em as is with new seals. Atkins or OEM.

Run them as-is, do not touch them. You'll never see housings that good in the wild.

if it was a 13B i'd say maybe but more than likely junk em, but it being a 12A they are about as good as you will get.
