Alpinoi valve stem seals

[Jeremy Wilton]

I suspect this has been covered before - I have the head off the 500 and am re-lapping the valves - I need new Valve stem seals as the old ones are very brittle - (they splinter when I try to get them off). I have been told that Honda seals fit (from a 125) I think and so do some VW ones? I can't find any Laverda OEM ones? Any advice? The valve stem is 5.5mm but I can't measure the base of the valve guide - (it's hard to get a ruler in there) - the valves are Alpino - not Montjuic - what seals can I get?
Cheers

I Think Wolfgang Harter in Canada still have some. The last MZ bike also use the same size as Laverda 500.

not sure if they are the same as the alpino but since the zane editions were based on the alpino I might be able to source... contact me at dallaslavowner@gmail.com if interested, I can send pics of what I have when I am back home in December.
