Power Steering Rebuilding

The original power steering on my 54 works great but now that she’s finally back on the road driving I get power steering fluid dripping. I’m pretty sure it’s coming from the lower cylinder unit. So I’m wondering if anyone has rebuilt the cylinder unit before? I spoke to someone at Lares this summer & they wanted an absurd amount to rebuild the cylinder, so hopefully I can find an alternative to sending it to them.

I also need to make some gaskets for the Reservoir to Manifold & Manifold to Pump Assembly. What gasket materials can I use here & is least likely to leak on me?

Finally my two hoses don’t have the factory clamp / holder that I’ve been told was used to hold the two hoses next to each other. Are there others to use or can these be made with the new hoses I need to have made?
