12a Rotor Housings
#3
They are still out there but are $1600 for a brand new pair. They have other options, like the cermet coating or refurbishing which is cheaper. I am working with someone who is getting them from Mazda and for only $800. So I believe they are still being made but in low quantities.People that have them sell them for way too much because when they first came out they were only $70 and $600 for the whole engine.

12a housings have been discontinued for a while now.

That's what they tell people so they can sell them for $1600. If they aren't being made how are companies like Atkins (which doesn't advertise them but still sells them) still getting them brand new? I think it's all BS. They still make them it's a scam to sell them at a higher price. I used to work for a dealership. I know all their tricks and lies they come up with.

They are dipped in cermet which is a similar procedure to chroming. You can get it done for cheap at Pineapple Racing. It takes 3 to 6 months to get them back.

I really don't know much about it but I spoke to someone from the main company that does the cermet coating in Canada and was told they are "dipped" in cermet coating.That they cover all the water jackets,etc and dip them.Never had it done but that's what I was told by the company.

Tim Buck did announce this a few months back. There have been rumors for the last few years that production had ended, from what I can tell it finally did happen. I fortunately have two new housings on the shelf to build one more motor.
