  Try Barnes & Jones. Seems to me they have replacements or repair units for a lot of odd things.

  @Jamie Hall thanks
  
  What about leaking valve stems on the valves that come with this type of system?
  
  I only saw two valves and they were leaking pretty bad

  Can you repack them? Or are they the type which has no packing? Photo?

  So how do they seal? Is it some early form of o-ring or just tapered metal on metal with grease or what?
