Default Anyone know of a good vacuum canister replacement?

So I messed up my vacuum canister the other day when I was changing my windshield wiper motor. Had to pull my cruise control off in the process and mashed the hell out of the coffee can in there while putting the cruise back on. Want to get it replaced though so I get back my cruise control (I know the canister is bad, vacuum tested it, and can hear the leak when I shut it off.) Right this minute I just went around the canister and removed it from the circuit so I still had my brakes. Does anyone know of a good replacement for it so I can get the cruise a and the rest of the brakes back? Thanks!!!
