  I believe this to be a machined aluminum taco plate. Look to be somewhat stiffer and less prone to leaks. Anyone making these in the US? Kev |

"Less prone to leaks"?
Think about why they leak. Silicone slathered all over the sealing surfaces. Wrong or dead o-ring. Dead or missing paper gasket for the cover over the sender. Wrong or missing crush washers. Wrong, dead, or missing copper sealing ring for the sender. Stripped threads in the case. Improper torque of the bolts. How's the machined plate gonna fix ANY of those things? I have yet to see a bent plate or any other "mechanical" malfunction. Got bling, though, not that anyone will see it ............... The Cap'n |
