Default Need place to get viton seals and 505 seats

Im putting a set of patriot extreme springs i got from a friend on my engine. they have been tested and are good to go (he swapped to ls3)

only problem is patriot is out of the spring seats. I called them and he was nice enough to say i just need a "505" spring seat and that he thought comp carrys them.

this is the patriot description of the spring seat
Patriot Performance .565" machined spring bases are made from 4140 steel, heat treated and then black oxide coated. The OD of the base is 1.270", ID .505", and .060" thick.


looking at comp i cant find anything that matches this, and lookin at cranes site i see a "505" but its a different OD of 1.24

so im not sure if those will work.

also i know the viton seals are a fel-pro part, but when i went to the local autostore the guy said he couldnt find it.

I know thunder is supposed to have them, is it this part?

161-VS-UV5001-EO LSx Valve Stem Seals, .500 X 8mm, set of 16 (Valve Stem seals will need to be replaced when using the Comp 26921-16 Valve Springs or the Comp 26925-16/26926-16 Valve Springs.)


Im just trying to get my valve springs finished installed. I would of easily ordered everything from patriot but... now im trying to find the parts elsewhere. any help or vendors here who has these parts please hit me up.

I would call up and sponsor and tell them what you need and let them get you the right stuff. TSP, Thunder, SDPC etc.
