Paul,
I just ordered an RX8 rotor ( half the price of a RX7 rotor) for the single.

I'm unsure which way to go with the apex seals 2mm or 3mm. I have to grind the apex seal slot anyway as the narrow 2mm RX8 seals would soon be spat out of the P-Port.

Any suggestions - anyone! ?

I've been advise that 2mm seal better than 3mm seals and that I should look at 2mm seals for the single - that would only mean a deepening of the slot. I also been suggested to use Hurley seals
however I believe Tracy's would be just as good.

I've also developed what I believe to be the first RX8 P-port and it's a bridge P-Port to use with the RX8 seals. Can only be used with an RX8 end housings as they would be spat out of an RX7
P-exhaust.

The green line is Jerry's 1.6" PP and the bridge PP can be made longer without the fear of overlap.

Who's going to do it first?
