James,
I only know of two places to get a gasket in the UK and it’s INracing and Spencer lane jones. The latter is more expensive.
There composite gaskets and not solid copper or pressed coated metal .
You will also need wellseal for installing it.
To be fair to INracing I think there parts have been quite reasonable and service & knowledge very good.
Are you sure it’s just the head gasket as you ought to examine the head for signs of cracking/ porosity imho as well unless it’s very obvious it’s the gasket.
The standard Bristol head nut torque is low at 30ftlb and you can upgrade to higher tensile head studs @nd bolts allowing 40ftlb.
Unfortunately none of the Bristol engine work is cheap these days.
