GT3 Motorsport RMS Seal... Where?

Does anyone know where I can purchase a GT3 Motorsport RMS Seal. Evidently racing shops would know but not familiar with any. I may go this route if my new 997 seal is leaking.

I suppose that if my newest 997 is leaking and this one works then it is better in my case. There has been talk from others at renntech etc that have used this seal in place of the 997 with good results especially Scouser that is on his 8th seal. Better explanation by juankimalo at link below:

The GT3 seal is installed in reverse/flipped and he has had his in since may of last year and still no leaks. I am just scouting solutions at this point if mine turns out bad.

I installed the latest gen seal and it is fine...Dont hurt yourself looking for a GT3 seal.

GT3 alone = more $$

Did they make another better 997 seal? Mine was installed about a year ago but only 2 hrs driving time. The delema is that the tech used a older tool and it was nicked, so do I have them install the same seal or try something different. There is mention that porsche even recommends a 993 seal at this point. Just to many choices. They are looking at it today.

A year old seal, and 2 hours driving time? DRIVE IT MORE....it seems the less we drive these things, the more RMS problems. I have 145k miles and NO RMS...

I have seen people say they bought the car and it was sitting at the dealers lot for a few months and saw slight seepage at the RMS, but once they began driving it regularly, it went away....On the flip side...my buddy bought a new C4S cab...in 2 years he had less than 1000 miles on it. The dealer said they would not honor the warranty if he didnt put more miles on it. He had it stashed in his guest house garage. He sold it....I offered to break it for him at no charge...lol...
