Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

To my knowledge, these are rarely, if ever, sold as spares. Depending on the headset, you might get one by emailing the maker, but most likely you'll need to do without. The lower seal is more important than the upper, so if possible switch the other one down. Then improvise a seal with an O-ring, if you can. Or you can fit an exterior seal with a wide rubber band cut from an inner tube or using the one they use to hold broccoli together.
