Link to VP V8 Power Steer Pump Seal Kit

[NZHSV]

Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct replacement seal kit for the power steering pump on my '92 Senator? Does Holden still supply OEM ones? So far I can't find anything online in NZ.
Found a few on eBay Australia but the photos in different listings show varying number of seals so it's hard to know if they are just using stock photos or whether they are even the correct ones. And it's always hard to judge what is a quality OEM spec substitute and what is just rubbish.

I assume the kit for the V6 differs from the V8, which just makes it more confusing. Some kits say they only fit the V6, some only fit the V8, and some say they fit both. You can see why it feels like such a minefield!!

Any help appreciated cheers guys.

The V6 and V8 pumps are different and the variotronic pumps have different pressure control valving from standard.

Last time I replaced a power steering pump I got a changeover unit from Active Power Steering in Revesby, NSW.

When I was in Hamilton I took mine to a shop in Frankton and swapped for a rebuilt exchange unit.
Maybe look them up, call them and courier it from CHCH.

Thanks everyone. In the end I found the kit at Rare Spares in Christchurch, and it's all fitted and working with no leaks.
In the end I got a specialist to tear down and rebuild it - I'm glad I did as there were other problems with the pump that he rectified at the same time.

Yeah it's great when a shop who specialises in a particular area has a look and finds that extra thing a once in a blue moon fixer would miss.
I recently put a rebuild kit through an SU fuel pump, but still had intermittent issues and suspected the coil. I sent it to a specialist in CHCH and yeap coil was fried but was also the wrong coil, and a few other things I had missed being that I don't do that every week like him.
As I said, specialists are great!

And specialists have stuff like special tools and calibration gear that makes it so much easier to do a proper job.
