Yes on mine i removed the nipple in the hub and installed stainless plugs with pipe sealant. I then removed the hard vacuum line that runs across the frame and up to the vacuum pump and plugged the end with a stainless bolt

Maybe, except rubber parts have been outsourced like everything else. They do not last long at all.

Pick the thickest rubber from the parts bin.
Better yet, I usually source these from a pick and pull.
