Dave,
Do it yourself!
Any boating supply house has the packing in stock. Figure out the size you need by subtracting the OD of the piston from the ID of the nut.
Here's a link to the packing:

Here is a link on how to do it:

Ignore the fact that it talks about a boat, the method is the same. mostly note how to cut and wrap the packing around the rod.
