Hi Jeff- I tried to get the H.T. seals from Re-originals, but what they sent was incorrect and had to be returned. They had no correct seals. I then ordered a set from Alfaparts in Berkeley (John Norman) and although it took a long time, eventually I got a set from him. They were quite pricey 4-5 years ago (about $400) because the seals are a complex design. I did not attempt to install them myself, but went to a local (Chico, CA) car upholstery shop that I had used before. It was pretty difficult, even for him, but eventually the job was done. There was some wind noise and the seal was not all that water tight, but it was a reasonably satisfactory installation. These seals are almost impossible to find, so, buona fortuna.
