Thanks Carl. That's a very good start.

P.S. I do recycle stuff and I am not afraid to throw a piece of plastic on
the lathe to change its shape if need be.

You're welcome. No offense intended, I've lurked here long enough to know
that you could fab whatever was needed; that was a "confidence-builder"
sentence in case someone else was reading who had the shop vac but not the
shop yet :-).

McMaster Carr is a great place to browse when you have a "wonder if that is
available?" or "roughly how much does that cost?" question. Best online
catalog search engine on the Internet, www.mcmcaster.com.

My most used shop vac is the one inside the door of the laundry room
where among other things it is used to clean the dryer lint trap. It
is a "TECO Master Shop-vac" (TECO + T. Eaton Co.) I bought it five
years ago, in its original box for $5.00 at a yard sale. The seller
mentioned that no one seemed interested since it was not labeled
wet/dry. On dissassembly I found that it was stamped "Aug.21 1971". I
installed a modified thrift store vacuum bag over the original cloth
filter to enhance its discharge quality. Second son says that it
really SUCKS!
