'tween the exhaust flange assembly and the head ?

Hi , I am doing a top end overhaul on EA81 and for the first time I have to completely remove the exhaust flange thingy from the head due to studs seized in the cast iron part ( by seized I mean the stud shank completely fused to the cast iron spacer flange thingy of no name ) . Please excuse my terminology, my manual does not show or make any mention of this part ( I am not hugely fond of Gregorys but what else is there?). On the face that is in contact with the head there is a groove in which there is a seal of some sort. Also no mention of this seal and no matching seal came with the top end gasket set.
Does this component have a name and what is the seal ? Also who supplies replacement studs and their nuts and the strange little bolts that need a special tool to undo because an ordinary ringy wont fit and the hex is too munted by heat and rust to get a grip.
Looking forward to some pearls of wisdom so I can get Brumbus back together, cheers.
