Hi Gary,
I just checked the current Victoria British catalog and they offer valve
seats for your car, about $7 ea. If you don't have a catalog, give them
a call at 800 255-0088. They also have a website:
www.victoriabritish.com
I don't see them in the Moss catalog.
I'm sure a lot of the other vendors would have them, for that matter,
the person doing your rebuild may have a source, too.
