Yes Hurley will make a one piece seal last time I checked but you should
check again. Eamon Hurley <eamon@hurley-engineering.ltd.uk>
I assume the seals are all made from the same material

Hurley did not mention re-balancing the rotor. I don't see why that
should be needed.

Are they worth it? Only you can answer that question.
