I need to look on RealOEM

There is a metal part at the bottom which I think is a part of the OFH. The piece that is missing is the plastic part which I thought was attached to the cover. However it appears that it must have been a separate piece. Or maybe it broke off, I don't know. The plastic piece has a mesh tube and then two small O-rings at the bottom.
