I'm not aware of any actual copper ones, just the mentioned "heavy duty" versions. Personally, if you're toasting OEM coolant seals regularly, you'll likely have problesm with heavy duty ones because they are a symptom of another problem - not the cause.

Im not tousting them regularly I was just wondering if they made a more reliable set? Are there any sites that offer them?
