I have never rebuilt one of those but done heaps of other pneumatic and hydraulic rams. if kits are not available for that compressor through an ARB dealer, then use a seal specialist near you.
I use one just up the road from me. If the seals aren't standard types, they can manufacture any profile seal out of any material, all in-house as they have a seal maker machine.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Simon.
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

When My truck went for a sleep, the compressor filled up with mud. I looked at re kitting it out and over all it was dearer to replace what was needed to be replaced than to buy new compressor.
