Default Where to buy rocker cover gasket?

Hi guys,

i need to buy a rocker cover gasket kit for a v4 sti but i cant find them on the internet (cept ebay).

Anyone know where i can get a kit from? Would prefer to buy online but not essential if i know im buying from someone reputable.

Cheers
Chris

Gasket, plug seals x2, washers x8 and possibly half moons x2 (they usually break when they are tapped out), and clearly x2 if doing both heads

Mine is a newage, they may be different, but I don't think they changed that much. Mine was only done a couple of weeks ago so the numbers remain fresh in my mind.
