MG MGA - Fel-Pro valve stem seals

Does anybody know of a Canadian source for Fel-Pro SS70373 valve stem seals? The only online sources I've found are in the US and all seem to want more for shipping than the parts cost.

Andy,
What are the chances someone from the East coast of USA, couldn't buy them for you and mail them. They weigh so little, the weight of the packing would be close to the weight of the seals.
Seems to me you would just need to ask and they would be at your doorstep in short order.

P.S. Pick a volunteer from a State with no sales tax.

I crossed that nu,mber to Victor. NAPA stores have them. The cost is$3.72 each and you need them only on the intake valves.
What part of Ontario are you in. I used to live there but am in florida now.

Thanks Conrad. For some reason I hadn't even thought of trying NAPA. I'll give them a try.

Andy,

I bought mine at NAPA, but CArquest sold them too and also Canadian Tire. Those seals were common on many cars:

F150 86-94 5.8L (351 CI)
CROWN VICTORIA 86-91
ECONOLINE E250 86-94
AND VEGA 71-74
Cheers,

I forgot one thing,

If I remember correctly, they are not suitable for dual valve springs set-up

The Felpro seals do fit with dual springs after the oil deflector is removed. Be sure you get the correct part number though, as some other substitute parts may be thicker wall and not fit.
