Default 1970 Windshield wiper repair

Rebuilding my 1970 wiper motor and pump.
During bench testing the moter runs fine, however the plastic pump housing and seals are in bad shape.

1) Does anyone have sugestions as to where to buy a pump rebuid kit including the housing.

2) For the best original look is the exterior of the motor suposed to be black or unpainted.

Thank you,

This was always a difficult piece to find. Fortunately it is reproduced now. http://www.melroset-tops.com/melrose_catalog.pdf

NOTIN,
The original wiper motors where not painted. I believe the original "cans" where zinc or cadmium plated.

Alan
