The piston primer pump has an o-ring which is quick and easy to replace

Mine is NOS and is a 'bitsa' made from different parts bins. However the glass bowl should fit to any filter element as it's stepped mating end is dimensionally the same as the normal ally base and uses the same O ring seal. All you then need it the longer thru bolt.
I've not had my diaphragm out but it's held by a ring of screws and not crimping so should be replaceable.
And $240 is big bucks for a filter. I paid £25GBP for what you see there.
