There is fantastic company based in the UK called HSL - Headset Services Limited. One of the silver stirrups broke on my David Clark H10-13.4 headset and they sent a replacement out to me to fix and replace myself. Google them and give them a call - I'm sure they'd be able to help you out!

I much prefer the gel seals to the foam originals. Noise isolation, comfort and fitment seem better. I don't know where you can get them in the UK, but most FBO's have them in the US, as well as Sportys.

Until you get them trapped in the metal work and then they leak down your face and shirt...as happens regularly...and then you find difficulty replacing them and are grounded!
Go for the foam ones!

Another vote for HSL. My ANR set went in for some warranty work and came back like new. new seals, ANR box, and mic sock.
Do 13.4s now come with gel as standard?

My vote is against HSL. My David Clark headset went to them for repair and was returned, allegedly repaired (for which I was charged.) It wasn't because, as they admitted themselves, they had failed to identify two problems. I sent the headset back to David Clark in New England who repaired it free of charge.
