Anyone help locating a cheaper seal?

[sethm09]

I have a leak on the plate on my power steering pump on my 2120. The seal kit is $185. Cheapest I can find. I can get a new pump for just a little bit more.
Anyone know a cheaper way to get this seal? It's an odd shaped seal so idk if a hydraulic shop could come up with one.
Or if I'm gonna have to just buy a new pump, put rtv on the plate and see if it works? What would I have to lose?
Part number for the kit is SBA340490224

If you can find an o-ring the same diameter as the formed one, you might be able to glue it in with permatex and hold it with clamps until it sets up enough to go back together without jumping the groove. Failing that, maybe clean the existing o-ring and grooves good, paint a thin line of permatex in each groove and put the seal in reversed.

If you can get a good quality pump for "just a little more than a seal kit", get the pump. However, I would check every after-market source I can find. Often some part stores, NAPA for instance, sells good after-market parts.
