If you guys are building chrome plated steel rotor housings steel apex seals
will work. Radius the edges and polish them as smooth as you can.

A lot of steel after market apex seals for the Mazda are junk as they
are not smooth enough.

I had a professor at UCLA analyze some apex seals for me a few years ago.

Mazda uses Acicular cast iron which is the best metal for apex seals
but steel will work if highly  polished.

I don't think Iannetti has silicon nitride apex seals for Sachs or OMC.
I could be wrong. Since you are building your own chrome plated steel
rotor housings not such a disaster if the rotor housings  get scratched.
