Valve Stem Steals Mercedes 450 SLC

HI All,

I will be changing the valve stem seals on my cylinder head for the 1977 Mercedes 450 slc.

the OEM merc seals area very highly priced when compared to say the elringer klinger.

is there a suitable alternative brand that I can use instead of the OEM.

thanks

collin
