I used a gasket kit and rotor rebuild kit from atkins rotary when I rebuilt my 12A. Everything combined was maybe $1000 since I had to get a new (used) housing too.

I bought one used housing from someone on rx7club for $200 or $250 I think. The other one I reused because the it looked alright. New or refinished ones were 4 or 5 times as much.
