We used to get red motor ones from BERCO in the ACT ???? from memory - it was years ago , dont know if they are still going .
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

almost time to bolt the norman on the engine :D

i know they are a bit thicker might help reduce compression a bit
and hold out a bit longer than the stock ones
