Since I never saw any pictures on the web of the lower part of the WUR (and I heve the damn thing apart now), I'd thought I'd share some.

If any one needs to change that green-ish gasket, it looks to be totally doable.
The material feels like a very soft rubber, like latex (I know it isn't latex). I imagine it should be easy to find some gasket material similar to that.
The metal part in the middle is screwed in place with a 4mm allen.
And that's pretty much it. Noting else there...
Come to think of it, that's probably why I never saw any pictures of it posted online...

BTW, the model number on this WUR is 0438140057.

Cheers.
Can you provide a picture of the whole regulator, and also specify how the two vacuum and/or vent fittings have been connected.
