That housing damage looks so different to the damage you get on the N/A 13B\'s.  

 I\'m assuming your tips went, as opposed to actaully wear damage on the housings?

Well mate..... When i stripped mine the plates and housings looked ten times better than yours but they were still fooked :(  
All depends on what your doing.....  I think everyone will tell you that if your porting then get new housings.  The plates, well you may get way with re grinding them, depends on the wall thickness.....  I ended up getting new plates and housings, did\'nt want to cut any corners...

Cheers

Not looking good for you m8:( But like Fish said, at least you\'ve got a couple of spare side plates to practice your porting :bandit

So did the tips go in both rotors then? or is one housing better than the other?

Good luck with it all and well done so far, at least your getting stuck in and learning everything first hand.

Your rotors may still be rescuable,
If you sent them to me I could have alook at them for you.I could check your side plates too if you like.
Kind regards

Out of interest, what sort of money do new/used (but in servicable condition) rotor housings and end plates go for?
