  And I'm surprised if you Don didn't do the same. 
Actually, I have zero experience with mechanical seals, nuke plant or elsewhere. I worked then ran the Metrology lab. So I could provide you the optical flat and monochromatic light to determine the number of bands.
Got it. You worked in the calibration lab
Yes. I was an I&C Tech for about 90 minutes then was 'promoted' to the lab since I had previous experience... LOL, funny how life works.

Turns out Kawasaki used many a mechanical seal across various models. Found this out while searching for 49063-1001 but incorrectly typed in 49063-0001. Got all excited, as Partzilla had them in stock, and inexpensive too!

Alas, cue sad music, our part number 49063-1001 is 'discontinued' everywhere I looked except for z1300.de. I need more stuff from .de so I'll order from there, have a known good one available, then try the pool/pump/jacuzzi stores for future reference.

I only have one lift, and don't want the 79 consuming it for weeks on end.. a KTM 690 needs some love and the 1980 KZ1300 sits forlornly in the corner, longingly eyeballing the lift....

I would caution everyone from using Partzilla as a supplier. I had 3 bad experiences. Ordered parts and paid for then got notification 2 days later stating no stock. Had to ask for refunds 4 or 5 times on each purchase before reimbursement. I think the idea was that I would forget about the monies sent and they would capitalize on this.

Just a bad reputation as far as I'm concerned.
