Default Source for Optispark Gaskets?

I took mine apart last night, since I am waiting on a new Dynaspark. It was running fine before the removal, but I noticed a small water leak from the pump during the disassembly. This unit is perfect inside!! No corrosion at all on the optical disk or internals.

The gaskets inside had a couple of cracks on the side, but for the most part look to have been preserved by a small oil leak I found at the timing cover / oil pan junction. I would like to replace these gaskets and re-install the opti while waiting for the new Dynaspark. Anybody done this, and where did you find the gaskets?

Thanks in advance,

:cheers: :flag :cheers:
