Monty,
They have been done before no problem!
Lynn's suggestion is also good, but for me harder
to do. I suppose you could do two( or 4) smaller holes the housing and work
in the shape with a die grinder, just leaving the bridge. Wouldn't be able to
weld in the tube Unless you made a bridge in the face of the tube - now there's
a good idea.
No good for PP exhaust however!

Monty,
I wouldn't take the chance with
a RX8 apex seal going over any sized hole. Their not designed to do that as
they are much smaller in height and IMHO they will flex and spit out
of the hole. Deeper 2mm slots have been tried, with RX7 two piece but
even with a wire cutter there is a small ridge left, which might hang up an
apex seal - so I'm going for a 3mm apex seal.
The slot depth is 9.8mm and is
just as easily cut with a fly cutter as a wire cutter.

George,
So I take it there is enough meat in the Renesis
rotor to make the slot deeper? Somewhere I came across somebody stating that
they were too shallow.
Yes 3mm seals are something I have considered
also.
Of course I hesitate to cut into a perfectly good
$500 part, but now I have a junk rotor to make sure. I also have 6 tries to
get the setup right before the good part goes in the mill. ;-)
