Re: 727 Leaking Fluid like it was made in Great Britain

Cool!
The only problem I see is the brass . Teflon would have been better.
Brass and aluminum do not co-habitate  well , together.
Mixing dis-similar non ferrous metals , such as brass, copper, aluminum, 
etc, is a prescription for electrolysis down the road..
The case is so thick that it may not occur as fast, but eventually, it 
will occur.
