I have located a used PT&T that appears to fit my motor. It is from a V4 Johnson and I have a V4 Evinrude.

Both of the tilt pistons have the packing seals visible and both seals appear to be blown. I can make a tool to remove the packing nut but can I find the rebuild kits for these pistons for a vintage mid '80s unit?

If a rebuild kit isn't available, you could try purchasing o-rings from just about anywhere. Check around your area for someone that works on hydraulic systems and pick their brain on the seal and rings.

An electric motor repair place should have the size you need.
