I had my pump rebuilt from my 64 tempest. It had a bad winding in the armature. I found a contact to an old guy in California I think. He wound them by hand. Its doing the job and working well. I did this to save a little money.

I can't see any reason to try and have the hydraulics rebuilt. The ones that Hydro sell are very nice and near identical. They also sell exact style lines too. The old lines just get old and brittle. The hydraulics just plain wear out too.

I do not know of anyone that sells replacement rivets for the frame rails. Even if you were able to get one how would you install it? There might be some ways to get creative with a bushing and a button head bolt to make it look nicer but I would think your best bet would be sourcing out a new frame rail. I had to do this with my Conv FB.

...that's all i did to 'cure' my old 64 lemans tops hydraulic pistons from leaking...must pry off the seal carefully, remove packing, then replace rubber O-ring...and re-pack and bend seal back down over packing...that was twenty years ago..knock on wood..still not leaking...the motor i replaced with new hydro E unit...
