[Rovernet] Hydrosteer box rebuilder?

[Jon Stanley]

I went to the Lares Corp website and saw that they advertise "We work on 
every steering system ever made, from the oldest car to the newest truck."

I decided to call them today and well, it appears they won't rebuild the 
Hydrosteer box because they "can't find parts" for it. Any other ideas?
