Default Power steering pump seal kit for 2005 WRX

My power steering pump has been gradually leaking for ages, and I've decided to get round to fixing it. I've got a standard 2005 Impreza WRX Wagon.
I've removed the pump from the car and started to dismantle it, and it's clear that the oil seal nearest to the pump's bearing is leaking. So I'm looking to change the seals in the pump.
I've looked on ICP's website for seal kits, and the closest they've got is for a 2000-2002 model, but not for a 2005. Does anyone know anywhere where I can get a seal kit for a 2005 pump?
I'm trying to avoid forking out for a new pump for the sake of a few bits of rubber (don't take that sentence out of context!! ).

From MY03 onwards Subaru do not supply seal kits for their PS pumps (apart from the inlet O-ring)

Latest pump part number for MY05 WRX/STI is 34430FE042

Thanks for the part number.
That's annoying about the lack of kits. I did see this one on eBay that looks like it has the right sort of seals, but difficult to tell if they're all the correct size:

There are various seal sets on ebay but most relate to US models which don't always equate to UK/European models.
The 3430FE/040/041/042 pump was not fitted until the 04 model in the US.

If you've already taken the pump apart just measure the seals and order them from a seal supplier. I've just done exactly that but I can't remember the sizes off the top of my head. I went with nitrile seals as I'm pretty sure that's what the originals are made of.
