69 GTV Brake Pressure Sensor Manifold - Piston Seals

I could use some assistance on this one.

I've taken a bit of break away from the bodywork part of the restoration and decided to have look inside the Brake system Pressure Manifold. Now the sensors and the threaded end cap came off surprisingly easily, however the inside pistons were a different story. I had to heat the housing up about 3 times with the propane torch and slammed the open end on a block of wood....eventually the pistons dropped out.

However quite a bit of goop and remnants of the one seal was found inside along with some minute corrosion spots here and there. The plating on the pistons has also come off in many places.

Has anyone else had a go at reconditioning these? If so, where can these seals be purchased from? BTW...so far I've only checked suppliers' Web sites and have not come across them.
