You could try Rotechniks (not a MRC vendor) on 0118988 8555 - I have found them helpful in the past.

Think i`ll just get the rotaryaviation master rebuild kit and upgrade to 3mm seals :) should get everything for 6-700 bucks delivered.. all i need to worry about then is the housings, but cars a low miler anyways so hoping they`ll be ok. lol

Why are you upgrading to 3mm seals? You need a good reason. Don\'t just do things for the sake of it, if you put proper research in and pay for good materials in the first place it\'ll pay dividends later.

I was advised not to bother with rotary aviation, and just go with proper Mazda bits. Most of the vendors should be able to help, or non vendors. I got my bits from RX motors, Tim knows his stuff. But Shy, RE:Worx, WGT should all be able to help too.

also if you get 3mm tips, they won\'t actually fit into standards rotors!
I\'m pretty sure you\'ll need to send off your rotors to get the slot milled out by 0.5mm each side, not that many places that are set up for it as it has to be done to seriously tight tolerances. :)

someone correct me if im wrong though.

I belive you\'re right Dan. I certainly know that they need machining.

Was told they lasted longer??
Any who.. if there kits are used in aeroplanes they cant be crap lol.. would have thought they`d be better as a failed engine 200 miles up is guna be a problem :P
Im still doing research, reworx kit comes just shy of 1k for genuine bits, not sure if that included the tax, forgot to ask..
