Lux 9000 Power nozzle....missing part?

[kirby508]

I was inspecting my new vacuum and it appears there is a "clip" or something like that missing from the power nozzle "Elbow" I have attached a photo.

First, is there supposed to be something in this square hole, I am thinking yes as it would help keep the 2 rotating parts lined up.

Second, if this is missing, can it be purchased separately?


Thanks

This part...

does help hold the neck assembly together. I have kept many of these over the years in the event I ever come across a missing one. Shoot me your address and I will get one out to you (not sure if I have a blue one, but it will fit and work). Lloyd
