I Have A Set Of Original Empi GT Valve Covers and a set non GT Covers I Need Them For There  Just Old, I Found some Seals that are close but the outer Dia is just a little smaller, Also On The EMPI GT Covers They Used a 14 mm Cap Nut  where the non GT used a 13 mm cap nut   I Missed out on One Original NOS Valve Cover on E Bay about two months ago it had the seals but no hardware If I Can Find One New One I Can Have Them Made. I Am Sure There Are More Covers that are out There That Need Them ...

Gary,  Here are the specs for the rubber seal for the EMPI valve covers.  I took the measurments from the seals in the photo above.  I also have the specs on the hardware also,  As it is special to work with the seals.

There should be metal "caps" on top of each of those rubber seals.
They are missing in the picture also.
