good thing I stocked up on the ones for the GT6 that I like!
Sounds true to form, anyway.

I used to use his gaskets and they were good, WERE! I ordered some recently
and they were wafer thin, warped and very much like what one might expect
from VB. These were for Spitfire 1296 applications. It also took three weeks
to get the right application parts which he sent twice (wrong parts each
time) via next day at my expense. His response was to "just use two!" when I
told him these were unacceptable. Sorry, based on that experience, never
again!

You might try PRI. I know a lot of people have issues with PRI, but he
makes the best manifold gaskets I've found for my GT6. Heavy composite
material, so good that I have re-used these gaskets several times,
disassembling and re-assembling.

I'd look for a Payen Head Set for Spit Mk1/Herald 1200. Though I'm Not sure
if you are looking for the carb gaskets or the metal sandwich
intake-manifold Head Gasket. I might have some of the Carb Gaskets in my
spares.
Good Luck,

I found one at, believe it or not, NAPA. That was about 10 years ago though.
