Thanks for passing that information down Kevin. In my case, I became really irrited when I ordered the gaskets and cowling rubber from the same (using Bob's term) "reputable" supplier and then getting billed twice when the orders were split and the cowling rubber was "drop shipped" from Steele??? I think it's pretty shady for a supplier to list a part as if it was a stocked item only to find out it was never in his inventory at all.
I'm not done with it either...I think $15.00 to ship a set of $20.00 valve cover gaskets and a 5' length of $62.00 cowling rubber would have been barely acceptable but to charge $15.00 for one and right at $16.00 for the other was a bit extreme. 
I'm not done yet and won't mention any names but I'm still waiting for a phone call from "Indiana" explaining why it cost me $31.00 to ship something that should have been no more than half that much!!!...and I went with the cheapest shipping that was offered!!!

You can buy most of the Engine related gaskets from Egge. Most of the gaskets out there are made by Best Gasket, and Egge is one of their distributors. Pretty fair on their pricing.
