Default brake compensator valve

My rear brake compensator valve is leaking on my 2wd so bought a used replacement > fitted and leaks even more!
So got 1 taken a part and get the seals out for rebuild it but i could not find them anywhere searched with the local brake parts dealers and google but no result.
Does anyone rebuild one overhere and where do I get the seals from?

What size seals do you need, are they a normal "O" ring sort of seal, I've got sets of both imperial and metric, the kits are fairly cheap but can get any seal used on these.

No the seals are the same that you find in wheel cylinders (drumbrake) and also master cylinders don't know the name in english over here in the netherlands they have a specific name for them

Can you send a piccie and measurements, you don't need to use a cossie one, other fords with rear discs would be ok.

the type of seals that i'm looking for are the ones that are at on the right
got also the original ATE numbers that are on it too
sizes are> 14mm out 5.9mm in 4.5mm for the height
other one> 14mm out 10mm in 3.6mm for the height
maybe you know a shop that are ATE specialist for seals and other little stuff
I got the numbers that are stamped on it
