So I bought a used but looks like new Vertex 150 skimmer.

It needed a new propellor which I purchased but I think I’m still missing a piece.

I have these two pieces. I believe I’m missing the cap that goes directly on the pump. Correct? Any idea where I get a replacement?

I believe, if it's anything like my sicce pump, there should be another plate in between those two pieces that holds the shaft in place in the front.
 
I have this skimmer and I remember there being a white colored bushing in both ends. Looks like you need the bushings that go in the ends of the shafts and fit into the pump housing.

Here’s a link and pic of what I’m talking about, except they show as red parts. But I’d call Vertex to get the parts.
