Dear paul ,
Yes we could make one peice aprx seals but why would you want to use
them?
We used to use them in bridge ported engines only to stop the small
corner seal falling into the port.
Our standard seal has a large corner peice which makes for relibility
and ease of assemably.
It would be a good idea to give me a ring and we could chat about
it,but I will be away untill the 20th.
Best regards,

Able Ibarra is a friend and he said he felt a one peice seal
would be more durable under high boost.

The Ianettie one peice seals are a bit too expensive.

Hi Paul,sorry for the delay ,but i have been away.
You are right a one peice has got to be stronger, but its a pity to lose so
much compression?
Eamon "Eamon Hurley" <eamon@ehurley.force9.co.uk>

Is that compression at 250 RPM compression testing speed or actual
HP lost at 6000 RPM? Most aircraft engines don't run much below
4000 RPM.
