[V8] Distributor seals

[Jason Wilkerson]

Chris,
   These seals are kinda special.  You might be able to make them but for the price I wouldn't even try.  I think the P/N is 077103487 for the small one (X2) and 077103487A for the larger one (X4) total.  If you are only doing the distributors and the one cover in the rear you will need half the quantity.  Below is a site that I get audi parts from.

I just got these recently for a customers car - but I can't remember where I got the parts from - I think somewhere in PA.  If you can't get them from that website let me know and I will try to find the place I got them from.  Also, below is a good link to find parts and part numbers - thats where I found your P/N's.  You will have to create a user account - but trust me it is worth it.

Good luck.  Jason
