I have a quantity of A7/10 solid copper rocker box gaskets for sale £16 a set, free postage in the U.K. until January, these are top quality C101 soft copper so there is no need to anneal, just fit and forget about oil leaks.
PM for details. 

Kind regards TTJohn

Thanks John, superb quality items.
Proper pleased with the lack of oil leaking from my rocker box and with how much easier it makes getting the push rods in the rocker cups.

I bought a set but have not needed to remove the rocker boxes since then. Mine don't leak but I'll be very happy if the copper gaskets aid pushrod alignment.

How do they make pushrod alignment easier ? - is it just that they don't get damaged when you fit the rocker box for the umpteenth time ?

I'm assuming it's that they stay in place while you fumble with the pushrods.
