Yeah, they do not want us rebuilding our stuff anymore. Thing is, they are making the parts, just not selling them to us. I can buy this one for 36$ that looks the same with a different top cover and no bleed screws. But its made in CHYNA.

And thay have this one Amazon says fits for 57$, looks different but made in AMERICA ( I think?)

Out of spite I am buying the first one and if my original bore is not pitted, swap the seals.
Sad they can sell us a whole unit for 36$ but won't sell us the seals for 15$, They would make more profit selling the seals.
Its almost like you have to fight being a do it yourself guy these days.
