I would whole heartedly suggest you get a new vac pump, not disputing your technical knowledge or skills but that piece of equipment can kill you or others if it fails and you have no brakes. Not knowing the exact composition of the "rubbery nylon material" your playing with fire....... sorry if I offend you, but all members here I consider friends and I don't like to loose any......
