I have no affiliation. Seems like the German pump Comet has a local distributor in Florida at http://www.cometpumps.biz/ worth a call for direct replacement. Good luck.
Based on my experience with this pump I'd replace it if I could. Since 2013 it has never quit until now- the end of a pretty respectful duty cycle. German pump for a German car

Follow-up:
No reply from the US Comet folks so installed a single Rule 800 pump with dual outlets for shirt and clava (as before). I did not install dual pumps- I have new back-up pump at the ready and it should be a pretty easy 5 min. swap out.
The larger space holds block ice while the space adjacent to the pump is perfect for cubed ice. The 2 in tandem are colder and last longer than either alone.

+1 Doing this exact thing now with for my Cayman. I was going to use a Grizzly cooler and the cooler walls are 2 inches thick so I'll need longer bulkhead fittings.
These are the two DIY's that I've found that have a parts list.

Also, does anyone mount the cooler under the front bonnet? I need to have a passenger seat for DE's.

Yes- I used to have the box in my old 996 up front, then moved it when the other seat came out. Just run the lines through the firewall.

Twins- for separate (and higher) flow to shirt and coolclava. And redundancy. Yet to put in perforated barrier to protect pumps and wiring from block ice knocking around.
