Let me know if you can't find any. I'd be happy to stick some in an envelope for you.
Funny you ask about the silicone valve cover gaskets. The UK VSaab forum has put out feelers about making up 100 sets or so. Personally, I don't have a problem with the cork ones... you know the trick, right? Making sure the valve covers are FLAT? Sometimes they get overtightened and the area where the bolt goes through gets pulled out of flatness. Lay them on a flat bench and gently hammer them back. I then use a bead of blue RTV on the valve cover side. Nothing on the block side. I don't have leaks and can get two removal/replacements out of a set. And don't overtighten them!
