Steering box seal kit

I have some concern my box is leaking, but have not found a seal kit. Are these available or would a shop be able to do this with off the shelf parts.

Rick, you could pull up the PNs for the various components and walk it by Mazda, but I am guessing these are all NLA...
I do not see a "kit" listed in the parts manual.

Not speaking from personal experience, but I assume there are generic rebuild parts that will allow these to be rebuilt, as I am aware of several people who have successfully had them rebuilt by local steering reconditioning shops.

It looks like you can order a seal kit. I'm looking to rebuild my '79 box while it is out during restoration as it seems to have a small leak. I know the 79-81.5 and 81.5-85 boxes have different columns, but is the rest of the box significantly different? Would this "84-85" seal kit from RockAuto work?
