X2, I'm not sure I'd want to pay dealer prices though. If you're a junkyard type of guy, grab one off of a later M103 they're pretty easy to find. There are usually members parting out M103s in the parts classifieds section of the forum too, you could get one from them. The reason I asked (and Ferdman also recommends replacement) is because the plastic has a bad reputation for getting brittle and cracking after many heating/cooling cycles. The aluminum ones with the bleeder screw are much more durable.
