Breather bridge to plenum seal and breather bridge to throttle o-rings?

I have everything else and forgot to get these  :(  They were replaced last year

O rings should be fine,but I always tend to replace the "top-hat" breather box to plenum seal ,but just have a good check to ensure its not split and hasnt started to perish .

Best removed to clean as most rubber seals don,t like carb-cleaner,then just freshen them up with a wipe of grease to get them supple again :y

I usually replace these but yours likely to be reusable after only 1 year "wear"  :y

Thanks for the replies. I know they cost peanuts but the local Saab dealer where I bought service items from previously closed down and andyc is difficult to get hold of at the moment. I ordered a couple of filters from him (but forgot these) only last week after trying to get hold of him for a week.  :(
