Right - it was painted - he didn't pick up on the mount.
He had some difficulty with it as it held pressure fine when they tested it but after a little scaping at the solder joint where the paint had lifted they found a minute crack in it and resoldered that area. That jives with the story of the member whom I bought it from - he said he pressure tested it and it held pressure fine. Now I have a mess of half-way removed paint to clean up so I can re-prime and paint it. I think I'm going to chuck it in my cabinet and glass bead it off.
If I have trouble with it again it will be time to spring for a new one.
I disassembled the leaking girling brake can yesterday and put it back together with Permatex no. 2. I have a drawer full of different sealants, gasket makers, specialty adhesives, etc, but of course none of them say anything about compatibility with brake fluid. Couldn't bring myself to use Seal All as it looks like model cement to me but i know some have used it for this. Filled it up with brake fluid last night to let it sit overnight and see if it is holding tight.
