I have a problem with a leaking cylinder. At the connections to the coil, it looks like the rubber washers between the coil and the cylinder have perished and water is leaking out. The nuts are welded on by the manufacturer so there's no undoing them and replacing the washers in the normal way.
There's nothing wrong with the cylinder other than this (and that is out of warranty) and I was wondering if I might be able to enact a repair.
The thing I thought of was to remove the traces of the washer, clean up and flux and make it into a soldered joint. Has anyone ever tried this or have any other suggestions?
In theory I don't see anything preventing me from doing this, but maybe I'm missing something?
