I purchased those gaskets from one of the Vanagon Vendors, but they might be
available locally. As far as sealants go, the shop that screwed up my repair
job covered their tracks with goobs of gray stuff, which is now falling off.
So, stay away from the gray stuff, and if your in the PA area, i can mention
one particular shop to not let touch your vanagon's exhaust
system.....ever....
