If you just really really want to use those awful cork seals then just cut your own. It's literally just a chunk of cork. Any hobby and craft store will have it. Worst case, order it in bulk over the internet.
Casting yes. Doesn't mean the machining is the same. It could be. I don't know either way.
Though, typically I see roosamaster pumps with cva injectors. Obviously this combination doesn't apply to every engine.

He has a point here. Is your pedal spongy or firm? If it is spongy then I suggest bleeding the entire system in the correct sequence. If the pedal is firm then it's most likely the air pack.
If you have a firm pedal but it doesn't stop worth a crap then chances are your air pack (air cylinder as you called it) is bad. Pull it off of the truck and tear it down before you order a rebuild kit. It may be too rusted up to rebuild. If thats the case then you will need a new one.

Just for convenience I would try to stay 5 or 6 speed with a stick.
Just imagine your deuce as it is now except twice the power. I'd drive mine every day if that was the case.
Someone stabbed an eaton 6 speed in an a3. Trying to remember what thread it was. It fit... barely.
