Default seals for ends of axles?

I have a Miata that I'm upgrading with S2000 axles.

I need to modify my Miata uprights to fit the seals that go on the outer ends of the axles, but first I need to get the seals.

See the attached diagram showing a Miata rear end with a red arrow showing the type of seals that I'm searching for.

Thanks for any help finding the part #s.

take the suspension part to a good machine shop along with the seal that you want to use if they are different sizes.

It doesn't seem to exist. Honda bearings are sealed. I don't see a seal there in the shop manual or in the honda online parts blowups.

Please link me to such Honda diagrams with part #s. I can't find any on this forum.
Thanks,
Bill

No such part for the S2000, as far as I can tell.

I know subaru's use seals in that position. I always wondered why. Seems like it's because they use some of Nissan's crappier idea's in their designs.
