Someone your side of the pond used to make them from phenolic resin, but I can't remember who, someone will.

I will replace it - only one neck, as you say! Are there new pistons/pads made from materials that won't corrode as much, or at all?

There are stainless steel pistons available, the pads are not so much of a problem.

Just did a quick "phenolic" search - the name Kevin Hunter appears a couple of times. Anyone with experience on this OEM/phenolic/stainless question care to chime in?
EDIT: Kevin Hunter hasn't posted on that forum in many years...

Look up roger7500_1 on ebay. He is in UK but gives you some idea

Godffeys's garage in the States. I always used stainless as they are cheaper, but they are heavier.
