How many people are interested in these aluminum end housings?
There is a possibility that they will be made available for
one rotor use. Either milled down with donor Mazda end housing
cast iron wear surfaces or with expensive detonation gun coatings
of carbide particles and then surface ground for minimum weight.

That is Jerry Hey taking a picture :-)

Paul,  I'd be interested in aluminum side housings, for the single
rotor.

Paul, I would be interested also if they would work on a two rotor,

they? how would they compair in price and weight to what Racing Beat
is
offering?  I really like what they offer but the $$ are very steep.
I've
been Out sick lately and may have missed an earlier post that
answered

this

already. Do you have any pictures?

Thanks

Yes they will work on a 13B but the percentage weight saving
will not be as significant as it is on the one rotor.
They will be expensive if we go the det. gun coating route. Probably
in the same ball park as Racing Beat. One difference is these
are side ported and the RB's are P-ported.

If we go the the milled down stock Mazda end housing wear surface
route the cost could be much less at a slight weight penalty.
Det. gun coatings are expensive.

Walt (Wyoming Walt) told me he had a source for the det gun coatings
for $100 a side housing.

Wow that is a super cheap price. Tell me more. Who is this guy?
Got as phone number? If true this is a major breakthrough.

Paul, have we heard anymore  on this?

Hans?
