<<  have owned a 60 TR3A for 18 years.  Some time back I dropped an exhaust

 piston with no damage to the cylinder.  
 
 My problem is how do I get a new exhaust valve seat and install it into the
 head >>

I would find a good automotive machine shop and take the head to them for an
estimate.  Cracks can be repaired and I would guess the dropped seat can too
but it might be cheaper to rebuild the other head.
