Martin, When I inspected engine I only needed soft parts, made my own o rings from cord for the sizes not available off the shelf here. Was a bit hesitant to do it at first, but mazda had no stock in Aus. Wouldn’t hesitate to do same again as very easy & was able to make orings that were exactly right size. I heard some premade seals can be a bugger to install if size is slightly off.
Any industrial seal supplier can get right sizes, Transeals in Perth can supply everything needed.
Worth recording info in thread from http://www.ausrotary.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=149153 for info , think from memory I used 2.4mm viton inner. Nbr outer. Cost was about $100
