Ok, I know I'm going to get some flack for this, but I'd love to see a picture of a reo grand without the 510 connector pressed in. I'd also like to see a picture of the 510 connector and the stuffing/padding/insulator thing (not the one that comes with the rebuild kit).

The reason I ask is that I am one of those who removed the 510 stuffing gasket and caused a leak. That particular grand is on it's way back from Rob's at the moment. My other grand is also leaking with the gasket in place. I've checked the bottle and rebuilt the thing, even used additional gaskets, replaced the delrin washer, etc. I've decided that I'm just a habitual over-squonker and over-tightener and need to drum up a solution that is more durable than the delrin gasket and keeps juice in the catch cup from dripping down into the grand. I'm just tired of taking the thing apart at this point.

I realize that the catch cup is pressed in, I'm contemplating just sacrificing a grand to find out for myself if I can devise a way to reassemble, but thought maybe I'd see if anyone has a picture of what I'm getting myself into.

If you hold off on cutting your mod open I will have a new 510 for people just like you . You may have to wait about 8 weeks

Thanks Guys.

I'm going to try to resist, but I did order one of those super fancy fatdaddy 510s today, may try and retro to the leaker. My other 2 grands will be patiently awaiting the new 510 :)

On the other hand, could just send the leaker back to rob and get it LP'd and rebuilt at the same time... decisions

Yes, the new connector is touted to be "hoople resistant", since we all know, nothing is hoople "proof" ;)
Oh there will be a super hoople that will break it and when he does there will be a ceremony in his honer . I will invite everyone he knows have live video . I will even make a dunce cap with his name embroidered in big letters on the front of his cap . I was thinking billboards as well the whole world will need to no about his accomplishment .

If you want to get a head start on the dunce cap, my name starts with "B" ;)
