Lost apex seal corner

I can't find two of the RA Classic corner seal corners. Would it be possible to match corner seals? Is it possible to even buy just the corner piece? I checked the RA site but didn't see just the corners for sale.
Surely somebody has lost a corner or two.

No, when I got my set the seals were separate from all the corner pieces which were all together. Call RA they will help you out.

I found one corner piece and I called RA and talked to Dominic. He said they don't usually have extra corners but he just happened to have an extra one. He also had the 2 short springs and the 1 long spring.
He didn't say what they cost.

it's not common to sell them indivudually but the sellers usually have a few lying around. sounds like you got lucky.

seal pieces aren't match sets. if you're reusing pieces with low miles then they should be kept together.

The seals only have about 5-6 hours on them and almost of that time was spent idling. The 7 has never been more than a mile from the garage. This engine has been problematic right from the beginning.
