Vacuum lid for my older US Products machine

[freshandclean]

I was wondering if anyone has a lid available for my old upholstery machine (PB111 Recovery tank lid ).
A sketch is on page one of this link https://www.steamway.com/uploads/2/6/3/9/26394829/manual_for_5000_-_us_products_pb-111_sw_5000.pdf
The cost of a new one is unbelievable.

$220 is about the going rate,

Sheet metal using and elbow barb and whole cutting drill for 1- 1/2 hole some foam gasket or weather stripping for the edges

I recently bought one to have as a spare. They never last very long and start to crack. I have been using the PBIII since 2000. They are no longer in production. Very hard to find parts.

I often thought about having one made at a metal shop. I just never pulled the trigger.

That seems like a lotta trouble for a cheap enough tool.

They Haitian cotton solution would get damn hot in that 3 gallon tank..
