fastener supplier, but no luck....

Got two estimates one for 75 dollars and hours and the other 95
dollars and hour. Someone here stated it takes about 3 or 4 hours to
complete this job so maybe it looks like $300 dollar or so? DOES
ANYONE ONE KNOW WHAT THE PRICE OF VLV GASKETS COST? THANKS Jon

PS That swing out radiator would be nice but at a $1000 dollars or
more that a little bit to much for the old Scotchmen!!!
