Mazda OEM Apex Seals for 12A?

Do thay sell sell em at the dealer?

If so, would they be New-Old Stock, or would they be fresh off the boat.

I've heard Mazda is selling new Apex Seals based on materials and designed used in the RX-8, but that could be just got 13B's or might not even be true at all.

That, and basically, has anything changed since I last asked about Apex Seals?

Last time on "As the Rotor turns"...

Atkins still sells 3mm seals in 12A and 13B lengths, and I'm sure their production runs are fairly regular. I'm not sure about OEM seals.

they do sell oem through the factories, but go with the atkins . they are much more duable and better made. i've heard of racers messing up and runnin 60psi boost down the track with no problems to the seals( not that it's recomended but it was an instance). they are just well produced.
