ps.just get the regular 2mm apex seal. the whole kit will run you about 1,000 but you can get just the rotor kit from atkins then get a n/a gasket kit and save your self a couple hundred bucks.

I ordered the apex seals from rotaryaviation.com the gasket set and springs from
Mazdatrix.com and the oil controll O rings and rebuild video from Atkinsrotary.com
I guess it really depends on what you actually need to rebuild yours, you might not need to replace the corner seals or the metal oil controll rings and side seals.
Luck and a few core motors gave me enough hard parts i just bought Apex seals and springs to reassemble it not to mention a couple of good rotor housings.

There are several archived threads which will help. One is a master list of rebuild kits (with a similar title), another is my turbo-NA-brigeport engine build (similar title) and another is a listing of all the o-rings in the rebuild kit. There is also a lot of information available via the search since rebuilding is a popular topic.
