I've got one with that ear broken off. Seems to work without that bolt.

I really like this option

.. But I will still have to keep an eye out for a replacement.. the seal in that part is pretty well shot..

Hahaha.

OP could have the ear welded back on the vacuum pump. All he would need then is a re-seal kit for it. Van Gogh didn't have that option.

On last question.. My dad came home from driving his rig.. Said everything feels great.. Maybe a little tighter than it used to be. I touched the PS box and it was hot.. Is that normal?

I know they warm up, but hot ?

Do you have a thermal temp sensor you can borrow ? I bought mine at HDeepblow for under $100
