As far as I know, no, there isn't a rebuild kit available. At least 
not available to the public. It's been a while since I last cracked a 
CPR open, but I can tell you that it's not exactly rocket science. 
The whole unit is just a shell, with all the internal pieces bolted 
in, and a rubber gasket on the bottom sandwiched in to create the 
vacuum diaphram. Tore one apart a while back, so if you want a 
description, check the archives, although once you open the regulator 
up, it's pretty self-explanitory.

I don't know where the rebulids are from, nor who is making them. But 
as you can see from John Hervey's web site, they're not just limited 
to the DeLorean version! What's funny is when I got my rebuilfd CPR 
from DMCH, it appeared that someone scratched out the old model #, 
and stamped the correct DeLorean one on. In addition, it also had an 
Audi logo molded into the casing that had been scrached off as well! 
But it works great, so I'm not gonna complain!

So in the end, I don't know where, or even if you can get 
any "rebuild kits", but obviously, they must be out there. And FWIW, 
the CPRs that Hervey sells look to be the exact same units at a 
slightly cheaper price, judging by the tamper seals, and the filter 
screens.
