Hello Spitfire Brethren,

I recently saw a valve cover gasket designed for the wider flat flange on t=
he alloy valve cover for spitfire engine.  This was a british site- Spitfir=
e - Lemans R (?)
My question is has anyone seen anything similar here in the States ?  I'm f=
rustrated with gluing and manipulating a stock Spitfire gasket to fit, stay=
 and seal.
Any word or ideas appreciated.

Cheers
