Recently my head gasket has gone on my car and whilst stripping it down to get it offi snapped two bolts from the flanges. I have removed the snapped blots now and im trying to get new ones but cant seem to find any or the gaskets for them. Anyone know where to find them? Ive left a diagram to show which ones im talking about :)Thanks

The one on the side of the head is a rubber ring style of gasket and should be avaible the one on the front of the head is paper gasket I had to make one out of gasket paper as I could not find, I did get one with a head gasket set but I had a leak so had to renew it when I took the flange of again.
for the bolts I found some in my garage lying around so they can't be anything special.

If the flange on the side of your head is the black plastic type VW did sell them new with a rubber seal a couple of years ago, might be worth a phone call?
