[V8] Brake Bleeding

Changed the flex hoses this weekend-the braids on both front hoses were
frayed on the caliper side. These were the "Precise" DOT lines.
Before I started I flushed the bleeder with new fluid and pressure tested
it, but when I went to bleed the system the pressure relief valve is now
leaking through, won't hold pressure. The relief valve does not appear to
be able to be taken apart. It looks like the sealing surface is
disintegrating.
Has anybody seen parts for these things? Mine is a 4 liter black bottle w/
yellow lettering, a long hose w/ pressure gauge, bar-stock valve and quick
disconnect-it looks like the picture of a KD 2901, but I don't think it's
that brand. I couldn't find a manufacturer name on it, and I have moved
since buying it. KD doesn't list the PRV as a separate part.
TIA,
Dave
