I haven't seen one of Brian's sets in person so I can't comment on what he's doing but the OEM parts are thin spring steel as you have discovered.

Thanks for the reply and the pic! I think I’m missing a gasket under the rubber pump piece. I’m not the first one into this thing.

After some observation of the pics, is there anything under the steel shim? All I have is the shim itself and it seem something is stapled with it.

The OEM piece has a thin cork gasket stapled to it.

I wonder who was the guy was who said..."let's just staple it" and another engineer said "hey that's a good idea".

Very thin. I believe it's sharp enough to cut your finger.

There shouldn't be a reason to replace the metal valve unless rusted.

It was for the women who assembled them I assume.

I’m not intending to replace mine. But someone had mess with it before hence gasket is missing.
