I'm not real familiar with this particular power booster. However, my first thot is to get a new or good used replacement part and put it in.
HOWEVER, u mite consider taking a bolt, nut and a couple of washers and installing them thru the hole. Might have to get a bolt with a very thin head or have the head turned down or JUDICOUSLY grind it down on a grinder. If i remeber rite, there is a rod that pushes against the center of the piston in the pic. I'm guessing that is what eventualy weakened the center and thus pushed a hole thru it. Probably because there was not enuf vacuum to the power unit and someone got on it with a gorilla leg.

I would first try to find a replacement part. In the mean time try the bolt fix i explained above. What have u got to lose?????? That part is no good the way it is. So try fixxing it with a bolt thru the center.
