Robert, 
Rebuild kits are available,  Ross Mullen or any of the other suppliers should
have them.  My experience and others on the list is that, at best, you've got
about a 50/50 chance of it working. The problem is the bore is aluminum and
tends to be pitted and so you may not get a good seal.  When i did mine, I
drove to the end of the block and the pedal went right to the floor!  Then I
bought a new one for about $150 from Ross. The kits aren't very expensive so
worth trying first, just be careful.

Let me know when you are on the road again and we'll go for a ride.
