Default 13b to 12a housing interest?

I am just trying to see if there is any real interest in 13b to 12a housings. With the inability to obtain new 12a housings and that driving up the cost. I would be able to machine 13b housings for use on 12a's. Most common wear on 13b housings are on the outer edge. So, that old housing that was once useless, can be used again once the sides are milled down. BUT, I am unable at this time to machine in the groove for the water jackets. So they would need to be used with 86+ 13b plates. If the interest was great enough. I would be willing to machine in the water jacket grooves to be used with 12a irons.

Basically, you keep your car a 12a while getting all the benefits of having a newer 13b minus the cubic inches. If there is interest in this. I am willing to offer this as a service. But before I make all the fixtures and buy he tooling, I want to check if there is a market for this.
