Default Has any of you "rebuilt" your TPI fuel rail ?

Hi guys,im planning to do a complete rebuild of my fuel rail.-
How's that ?
Well, when i got my SR i got 2 fuel rails,my original and the one that came with the SR,which was a Camaro rail,i wanted to use the new one
but i couldn't because the fuel lines are routed in a different way.

Well,i kept my original rail and i have to cap the rear (cold start injector hole) i already has a billet cap with an oring.-

I couldnt take off the AFPR from the Camaro rail so i ended dissasembling the whole thing and swapped the center part where the pressure regulator is mounted,and i found out that this inner parts has some orings,and those are the ones i want to replace with new ones.

Is there any kit or should i leave the original orings there?
i think the original ones are too hard like they are dry,so i thought about doing a complete overhaul to the rail.-
While im there i thought about polishing it as well.-

What you think ? is this a good idea ?
