Paul,

 Can you or somebody on line tell me if anybody does rotor housing exchange or if it
 is possible to re machine rotor housings?
 I need to acquire two 13B housings as mine are unserviceable. Good ones are becoming
 vary rare here in West Australia.

 I hear rumors to that effect but I don't have any info or experience with reman rotor
 housings. My guess it is not easy to do. I would think it necessary to un-plate the
 scared or pitted chrome and use an NC mill to clean up the steel liners and then
 re-plate the porous chrome surface.

Hi Gary

Are you building an aircraft?
I'm in Leeming Perth

Thank you for your replies. No I'm not building an aircraft. But it is for a low
flying Series 3 (First Gen for the Yank readers) Rx7. Here in Oz it is very common to
remove the 12A engine and replace with the 13B. The rotor housings are getting harder
to source. So far we have taken apart 4 engines to try and find suitable housings.
Ebay might be the next step.
Steve, Where do you source the parts you need here in WA.
Cheers
Gary
