My condolences to your bank balance Simon. Been there, done that and been several $k worse off because of it.
Make sure they use the new style heavy duty gaskets rather than the old style. My previous set (old style) only lasted about 3 years on my "old" P38A.
Can't remember what the material of the new style gasket is, but I'm sure that someone here will know.
Cheers, Paul.
