I got a rebuild kit some years ago from Bus Depot I believe but the rebuild
 didn't work in my case.

Today, I finally got my last(newest) Vanagon up and running - my  1991
Carat. It had been in storage a lot of years, and had not been run,  but
I finally got all the clean up and prep done so I could start it.  It
fired right up. I let it idle a bit, then shut it down. I have  other
work to do on it, but it runs and runs good.  Now to my  immediate problem.

I have three Vans, and four dead power steering  pumps  I'm not real
thrilled with the idea of spending $900 for three  pumps for the vans, so
I wish to look into rebuilding them myself. I did  this on the
alternators, when all the parts houses said they didn't sell  parts but
would accept as trade in my dead alternators. I repaired them  myself
with $15 worth of parts each, and I  see no reason it cannot be  done on
the PS pumps - IF I can find a complete rebuild kit somewhere.  Anyone
have any idea where to get said complete pump rebuild  kits?

Thanks,

John Rodgers
