Kevin,
Try Rimmer Bros, their web address is <http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/>
or John Kippling at <http://www.kipping.co.uk/>
If that fails check team.net's list at
<http://www.team.net/sol/britpart.html#vendors>
If you can't locate the parts you need there go to your local service
station and ask them for an old truck inner tube. Use your old seals as
a pattern (you did save them, didn't you?) And cut them out with a small
exacto knife or scissors.
Cheers,
