Thanks, but it has proven anything but easy so far.
I bought the "universal" Fox rebuild kit, only to find (and then have confirmed by Fox) that none of the seals in that kit fit this shock. It was just pre- their universal design it seems.
No one I have shown the pictures to (Risse for instance I think is one) has been willing to undertake a rebuild either.
Nor have I found a suitable and reasonably priced replacement. but with your encouragement, I'll keep looking. a replacement seems like the best bet.
