We’re fixing the KDW-4 and one of the metal plates between the motor and gaskets has rusted out. Is this a piece that is a) still available, b) someone has one that they don’t need, c) replaceable with something besides metal? The gaskets are shot too, but that can be an RTV creation if they aren’t. Pictures below.

Yay, New Drip Shield It is amazing what can be found, I would make the gaskets out a good rubber type gasket material rather than cork, cork works but is not as durable as a rubber type material and drys out and shrinks if the DW does not get used on a regular basis, this is where the [ now old wives tale ] came from that the gaskets can dry out in an unused DW, Washer etc.
The original drip shield would have also worked with a good coat of pro-15 etc, but new is better, since it is galvanized you may not need to paint it, but it won't hurt.
