I am looking for advice on replacement part for an old Fein vacuum. The model number is: 9-11-20.
I need the plastic flange and nut that holds on the filter. Unfortunately,
I have not been successful in locating. It appears Fein had someone make this particular model and that company has since gone out of business. Does anyone have advice on a source for these parts. Thanks

Many parts are "discontinued". You may be out of luck. You could try making something out of sheet metal with a hammer and a pair of snips. Nobody will mind.
Looking at my Fein vac, it doesn't look like it would be too difficult to make a new locking knob and locking pin from a 5/15 bolt and some wood. The tip of the locking pin is simply a 5/16" diameter shaft with a 1/16" diameter cross piece about 1/4" from the tip, that fits into the slot on the bracket inside the filter. The bottom fiilter panel could easily be made of 1/8" plywood.

Lee,
Thanks for the idea. I will take a look and keep that in mind. What do you mean when you suggest a 5/15 bolt?
Thanks,
Jack
Should be 5/16"

I have a Gore Cleanstream filter "Sears Red stripe" on my Fein Turbo II. It's friction fit so doesn't need the knob mechanism.

I think this is the one that fits:

Curt,
Thanks for the information, I will look into this. This is an old Fein but it works so well and is very quiet I hate to let it go. Jack
