While this forum post is an excellent read, it still doesnt help me get any closer to actually rebuilding the stock NP valve. Any suggestions where one would find new O-rings, Y-seals, lip seals, and cup seals?

Can anyone decern if the cup side of the cup seal on the piston rod is facing toward the coil spring side or the valve body? I am currently rebuilding mine and the service manual does not specify orientation.

In any hydraulic system the cup  side of a seal faces the pressure of the system. That way the pressure forces the seal against the bore and rod.
