Zefal HP pump rebuild kits?
Hi all, just got a period correct Zefal HP pump for the '78 Raleigh. it's a presta set-up, which is what I need.
It works, but leaks a bit from the valve gasket, and the inner rubber piston seal is floppy. Reliability is key.
Does anyone know if there are build kits still availalble for these anywhere, or if the more current HPX gasket kits will fit?
Thanks!

Since my younger son is driving back to UC Santa Cruz tomorrow, perhaps we could arrange a handoff of my nonfunctional HP-X, whose piston seal is still good. (The plastic cap broke, letting the spring decompress, and the pump fell off the bike and the plunger shaft got bent. I have been saving it for spare parts, but you could see if it fixes your problem.) Lemme know what you think. ...

That sounds as cool as a very cool thing. Thanks!
