Buy them from someone who's reputation relies on building good engines that don't break. Price is not important, but cheap seals are often a very false economy, as stripping down an engine to replace a £3 seal after just 250 miles is a soul destoying prospect.

Good engine builders don't skip on seal quality.

I like to use Rolf seals as I've never had a problem with them.
Available in packs from Scooter Restorations, CamLam...
And the gasket sets from Scooter restorations are fine, and include the little ones like under the gear changes and for the oil plugs [which some sets don't]
