  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 |

Damn Zeke, that was odd!!
Yes, I agree with the Cap'n.. When properly installed, these will not leak. Not even a drop. Proper installation is the key and that doesn't mean any sealant is needed!! All I do is coat them with oil, or maybe a tad bit of MolyB grease and they don't leak... |

Not nearly as odd as the fact that Milt is doing the metalwork on my 914 right now and I just happen to start this thread...what are the chances???
