Paul,

I have no idea whether this is a good deal but perhaps some of your readers
might know.

For those of you building engines, or preparing to do so, I am making a
large purchase of apex seals, and I would like to invite anyone interested in
purchasing sets to add to the order. These seals are produced in Britain and
are
the same seals being used in Abel Ibarra's "Flaco" 8.02 second R100 drag car.
Both standard and racing seals are available in both 2 and 3mm designs.

The standard sets will cost $185, and will include new springs.
The racing sets will cost $255, and also will include springs.

Both 2 and 3mm seals are the same price. If you want to run 3mm seals in
1986+ engines, the rotors will need to be milled to accept the larger seals.
I can arrange for this to be done between $250-300, guaranteed accurate and
finished if you do not know where to get it done.

To compare prices of apex seals and springs from Mazda or from
other companies (ie. Mazdatrix):

2mm Standard Seals with Spring Set $310
3mm Standard Seals with Spring Set $325

I realize some people can order seals from MazdaComp for a comparable price.
Others cannot, the construction of these seals is single piece, meaning they
will last longer with less pressure on the apex seal groove. These seals will
make rotors last longer, as will the seals themselves. I will not get into
the mechanics of these advantages here, but I will if you email me directly
and are interested in the offer.
