DDH water pump seal

[aussie Evan]

Congrats on an excellent site

 My father has owned a ddh with 10' hyd blade & cable winch on rear since 1960's Very little work & has sat unused since 1982.
We started it recently & I am impressed !!!
We have replaced air diaphrams in steering changed oil etc but ran hot so had radiator core cleaned and replaced hoses but waterpump leaks excessivley
Can I get seal in Australia ? or modify to suit common 2 peice seals readily available?
Would appreciate any Aus contacts for parts
Regards Evan

Hello

Have you tried any specialist who rebuilt water pumps, I found a local firm who could replace the old seals for off the shelf modern ones they had to do some limited machining but not much I think.  very fortunate to be on the edge of the black country ( for anyone who doesn't know, its a very industrialised area in the middle of England, black from soot from the factorys) there isn't much you can't have repaired or made around here.  
Also has it got a grease nipple? grease may help reduce the leak.  Good luck, Sam
