12a Rotor Oil Springs/seals

Is there any other company aside from mazda trix ($791.38 AMERICAN!!!) that offeres the oil seals, springs and such for a 12a engine?

Or, is there any cheaper alternative to the mazdatrix ones?

cheers'

DOH!

I bought a full felpro gasket set, didn;t include any of the rotor seals or springs... well ****... so now i am stuck with all the gaskets but none of the rotor seals... thats all i need, the rotor seals, do they do just those kits so i am not buying 2 sets of gaskets?

cheers'

I guess this needs posting periodically-
There is NO SET definition of a "Rebuild Kit" !!
Every vendor puts a different combination of parts in their "kit".
We include (in our Rotor Kits) ALL parts that go on a pair of rotors --
We do not include a gasket set (lets us maintain many fewer Rotor Kit part numbers).
Racing Beat includes what we do, + a gasket set
RR includes bearings in their "kit" - we do not, nor does RB
RR does NOT INCLUDE oil control rings ($203 for the set)
RR does NOT INCLUDE side seals ($115 for the set - depends on year)
RR has good prices - their "kit" is $596? - I priced out the same parts, our cost = $592?


Want a cheap "Rebuild Kit"?? how about $91.56 (8 water seals) -
but then you should just buy the 81-82 gasket set ($90.85) - get those seals + much more.


Bottom line (PLEASE!), do NOT compare the "price" of a "Rebuild Kit" from different vendors! Be aware of what is included, and compare the total of THOSE prices.
Most vendors sell ALL those parts individually - maybe you do not want all the parts in
ANY vendors "kit" ???


We use all the parts in our Rotor Kits on every engine we build --
You can decide which specific parts you want for your rebuild.
