Rx7 FC transmission seals question

Sorry for posting here but the 7club mods take forever to approve threads, anyways, where do these seals go? (seals in first picture) the rest of the pictures is where I'm at.... Changing OEM out for Racing Beat Aluminum Flwheel + Exedy Stg 2 clutch.

T!hanks



Where do these go? And this is where I'm at. (pics) thank you.

Mine is NA too, but the way my stock one fell apart... I need something more aggressive. I only got the parts that they reccomend for me for my driving style (Mazdatrix & RB)

well, it's my first rebuild. nothing really hard about putting the engine together, the most painful process is the side seal grinding. I grind it all already but the clearance is not as good as I want it to be, now it's about 0.02 to 0.06" , I bought additional side seal to see if I can make them all as close to 0.02 as possible.

if I still can't do it, I probably just gonna send everything out and let someone do the work for me , extra side seals coming today ...
