Maybe Brickwerks does some that'll be alright, look on SB's website

GSF are selling elring in the head sets, but reinz in the complete engine sets.

Don't buy the copy seals they are selling separately.

A good aftermarket seal will have had the vw part number wiped off at one end.

If you are doing the rubber seals, you must do the metal sealing rings.

black for the jacket seals and yellow fore the head nuts
