Actually I have two questions; first, I assume there is a gasket where the vacuum pump meets the engine (not really sure what drives the pump). I have seen rebuild kits for the pump but these do not seem to include a replacement gasket. Does anyone have a source for a replacement gasket for the vacuum pump on a 75 280C [engine 110.921]? Or is the gasket reuseable?

Second, and this may sound really dumb but is the fill and drain plug for the rear axle the same size as the oil pan drain plug for the above mentioned vehicle [chasis 114.073]? I would like to drain and replace the gear oil but I would like to have new copper gaskets for the plugs on hand before I do this. Thanks to any and all responses.

I have a spare pump gasket. Send me an email with your address and I'll put it in the mail.
