What is this?? Please help

I’ve got air leaking thru my gx cs2 pump from the gauge area. There’s a gasket that goes there by I notice the brown part here isn’t in my guage. 1 how do I get that piece or am I going to need a new gauge?

You can try target forge on YouTube or email him. I believe he was selling parts and has videos on that compressor

That is a filter of sorts, sintered brass I believe.

That appears to be an integral snubber. It’s tiny pieces of (I think) sintered bronze packed in a cylindrical area. It dlows air down so that it doesn’t slam/shock the bourdon tube in your gage. They also act as a filter.
The photo is an example of a replaceable snubber insert.
