We may have enough all at once to do 11 or 13.
On Friday I'll set a dead line of one week later to collect the stragglers :) Get those rotor housings in folks. It will be quite some time before we do another batch.

   I'm going to take my engine apart this weekend and send you 2 more housings for the lot.  I've never disassembled a Rotary engine before so I was wondering if I need anything special to remove the Starter Ring Gear and counterweight, see attached Pic?
Looks straight forward but there are always surprises. If all goes well I'll ship them out Monday to your hanger address.

The flex plate will unbolt. You need the puller to do the counter weight.
Don't forget to do the front bolt first.

Thanks Paul, sorry to ask so many questions.  So, does the Counter weight Have to come off and if it does can I use a generic puller or do I need the one from Mazda?  If I need the one from Mazda, any idea where I can get one from by this weekend?  I'm assuming the local Mazda dealer would have to order it.

A generic puller might work. Depends on the mounting options. Unbolt the flex plate
and make a sketch with dims of the counter weight. Take it to Pep Boys and compare
with what they have. My guess is a two arm or four arm system might work
while a 3 arm system might not work.
