In Search of Miata Catalytic Converter

The original catalytic converter on my '95 Miata has developed some cracks. Does anyone know where I can obtain a cheap OEM replacement? I understand from my mechanic that there are problems with after market units making them difficult to pass CT emissions and I can't stand the thought of parting with $600 for a new one from Mazda. My hope that someone out there has a take-off that could use a new home.
Thanks,
Tom

Your car is OBD1; take a broomstick to the stock one and clean out the honeycomb stuff!
It will purr like a kitten after your do, or at least get you buy for now until you find a cheap replacement.

Hi Tom,
I have a stock cat for a 1.8 Miata. It was taken off to replace with a hiflow unit. $25 and it's yours.

Hey Tom,
I never made it to NHMS (got sick) and just got to cleaning out the car and found the cat I had packed for you. I forgot all about it. Do you still need one?
