i've searched!! Apex Seal Spring Question

hi everyone, i have searched for this info and can't find it...
i have a 3mm apex seal set for my FD but need some apex seal springs to go with them... what engine series can i get these single spring 3mm apex seal springs from?!

Mazda NZ is losing the plot on this one... can anybody help with an engine/part number?

i actually got the seals from RA... it says on thier website that any 3mm seal spring from 1974-1985 engines will fit... rather than buying it through Atkins and waiting and paying for shipping i would rather get them from Mazda here... if only i knew what part/engine number!!

aren't all 1st Gens 12A and therefore shorter springs? or is there a 3mm single spring 13b somewhere in there?

I believe they came from the early Mazda 13b's and the '84-85 GSL-SE, all of which used 3mm apex seals stock.

I'd contact one of the rotary shops, like Atkins or Mazdatrix. Or, call some of the NZ rotary shops and see if they can hook you up.
