I have a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado with it's original air suspension.  I just bought the car a few months ago (19k original miles) and have it with my  classic car mechanic who is going through the car and fixing a bunch of stuff.   Regarding the air suspension, I've got some leaks in the main control valve, Front leveling valve and rear bleed off valve.  In searching for parts my mechanic found a main control valve but the cost is $1200.  I'm wondering if the valves can be rebuilt but not sure if the seals and O rings are available. Any recommendations on what I should do?  Or recommendations on where I might find parts or the seals and o rings (if available) to rebuild the current valves I have.  Any feedback on rebuilding the valves would be great.
