I have a source that I will post when I get home this afternoon.

Joe Hudacek has been doing this for decades and has a good reputation in the antique Cadillac community.

Napa may sell the repair seal in the US .In my area napa no longer has this so I ordered off e bay from Detroit muscle technologies and the kit came with the inner plunger rubber which was good as mine had a chip out of it and was causing it to leak by the valve .There are a few videos and tips in the site if you are good with delicate work and you want to try it yourself.

If you search ranco valve on here you will get a good look at how it is done from dennygraham he has a link to pictures . The part number from napa is on one of the pictures

I bought one from Joe Hudacek in Superior Wi. Actually I traded mine to him for one he had already rebuilt. I’m only 80 miles or so from him so I just drove over to his place. Looks like new and works great.

Thanks
