This was inside a MPS sent to me, wow, someone really had a bright idea. Coat the cracked diaphram in a ton of silicone to make a seal!
It didn't work.

thats silly, everyone knows you have to use duct tape for that.

I prefer JB weld.

thats funny...

Geoff,

When you put the MPS's back together, do you reuse the diaphram gasket? Or do you remove it and just use that black think goop you were talking about?

Yes, I toss out the paper gasket and use the Ultimate Gasket maker Grey- MotoSeal #1 to seal the diaphram to the body. Let it dry for a day before testing it!

Alot of "bad" MPS's just have a bad paper gasket seal, all the rest have blown diaphrams.

Got rolls of that stuff.

I have been meaning to use that Gorilla Grip tape as maybe that will last 30 secs vs 5 secs.

I have some Copper RTV that juuuuuuust might do the trick......not sure if there's any Berylium in it though. Might have to do the old taste test.

hey look whats that on the sidewalk. looks like dog shit.

[cheech and chong]

I'm gonna try to glue my wife's diaphragm to the part....

Mebbe that will work

Dog shit!.. Oh CRAP!

Is it possible to do a NDI inspection on the diaphrams and solder the weak points with a heavy lead based solder?

You better watch out for Alpha....


He'll figure out a way to bypass it...

You can do all the dogshit tasting for me!


You can't solder where it breaks as it right at the flex point!

...if someone (me) needed to get a MPS, where or how would they do that?

Pelican has the no longer available posted.

Thanks for any info,
Ray

I have one or two available- 043, 037 and 049.
