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,
will
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.

Hans

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 Lamar

Paul, have we heard anymore  on this?
Royce

Hans?

Isn't Walt on the list anymore?  We talked on the phone during the
apex seal buy and he told me that then.  That is all I know.  I'll
search and see if I have Walt's phone number.  My email was supposed
to cue him to chime in...
