Try rebuilding your own; do a search here for earlier posts on it. It's cheap; they use three metric o-rings, 3x35 mm, 3x39mm, and 3x49mm. I've had good results rebuilding them myself with common buna rubber o-rings though I've been told they don't hold up well in brake fluid and that neoprene are better and EPR or EPDM rubber are the best, neither available locally here.
As to aftermarket parts not holding up, my nightmare experience was with clutch slave cylinders on a Saab 99, a bad design much improved on by the 900. I bought two or three kits, all from the brand name original maker of the factory cylinder, but the rubber was definitely not equal to OE; the outer seal would tear, they'd get sand inside and go straight to heck. Then I tried a new cylinder, also from the original maker, and exact same results. About then my water poump started leaking and I broke a gear in the tranny and that was the end of the car.
