Miscellaneous Bucket Head vacuum upgrades
1) Top motor cover & cord manager; protects the motor vents and switch from rain when stored outside. Gives you a place to wrap the cord when not in use.
2) 'Cyclonic' diverter. Used to divert most dust and water from the filter. Is a loose copy of the saw dust collectors / separators out there. Spins the dust around the bucket where most falls into the bottom instead of clogging up the filter. Actually works quite well. I just used some RTV (silicone sealant) to glue it up into the recess. The glue just holds it up and the shape keeps it secure.
3) Wet filter sleeve adapter; I use a common wet filter sleeve. Unfortunately the vacuum has an open bottom. This covers the opening and keeps the filter sleeve in place. the small holes are drain holes. To mount ... I secured an M4 screw with a nut to the vacuum, that nut only hold the screw from turning when attaching the cover. Then secure the cover with a second nut under the cover.
