Can I rebuild my combination valve?

I just swapped in a pbr 10bolt with 12" rotors (replaced 9bolt delco) and LS1 front brakes. Does anyone know if I can buy the 1le internals (spring,valve and bushing) for my combination valve? Also if thats not a possibility what adjustable combo valve works with our cars.... correct threads and a work with brake light?

Why not simply purchase the correct 1LE valve?

I would assume a spring and oring wouldnt cost $100 like the comb valve, also it would be less work since I could leave the combi block connected while rebuilding. It doesnt look like I can find the parts though Ive searched so I may just have to spend the $$$$.

i've never seen just the guts for sale anywhere, but i think if you could find them ,it would be a direct swap, but its a lot of parts, there is a piston that goes through the entire valve that may or not need to be replaced.
