Spitfire Spitfire sidemarker gaskets

Does anyone know of a reasonable price sidemarker gasket source like the ones on my spitfire 1500?
 
If you find one, please share the source. Periodically I've seen a guy selling them on eBay (I think he has these made, not that he's sitting on a bunch of NOS parts). From memory, I think he was getting something like $80/set of four.
 
As Doug L. notes, if you find somebody, please let us know. I haven't been able to find anything less than $20 (Cdn$) each.

Last I looked, Spitbits was also selling a set of 4 for $80.

If the Spitbits ones are the same as what I bought here, then they are not quite the same shape as the originals. I can't quite recall why they are different, but I seem to think the originals have a tapered shape for the larger lens and these are more square - something like that. They look fine on the car, but are not original.
 
Just throwing this out there. I bought my Spitfire from Team Triumph Warren Ohio. 330-392-7176
It's a candy store for all things Triumph and MG. New (moss) as well as recycled parts fill every nook of his shop. He ships everywhere. I have a 15min drive to whatever part I desire.

Give him a call, it may be worth your while.

Nice web site too. www.teamtriumph.com
 
The ones on eBay were shaped like the originals (wedge-shape). The others that are flat are actually for a Midget 1500; close but not the same.
 
Spitbits does sell the side marker gaskets but their current price is $80 for a set of four.
 
Hi,
I've been buying my Spit parts thru RIMMER BROS in England - whole exhaust, odd parts. Even w/ shipping it is < 1 week and quite reasonable. Google it! Don
