I'm in the process of taking a PM apart and would like to put new parts in it. Rebuild kits for the PM are not even listed. Has anyone figured out what rebuild kit with the correct seals from another application could be used with the PM?

Being a Turbo Regal collector I have a good bit of PM experience. The GM Delco rebuild kits with rubber parts and check valve are long gone and there are no 3rd party kits. Cardone has an accumulator rethreaded from a different application that works. What are your symptoms and I may be able to steer you. Switches, accumulators and motor/pumps can be found. Also how do you find the PM to be as far as capacity to drive 4 rear wheel cyls over the 2 it was made for. Let me know. As always fresh DOT in the reservoir yearly is your cheapest insurance.

John,
Could you PM me your phone # so we can talk about this. I was able to successfully drive 4 80mm calipers, Two on the front axle and two on the mid axle (Harrison mid axle kit) I am now adding two 15/16 WC's on the third axle and while I have the capacity, I've had some other issues. Can we talk?
Thanks
