Running it with the fitting brazed back on for now, working fine. The braze looks and feels much beefier than the original sweat job FWIW. I just wonder how long it holds up to the vibration and heat. .....well I will find out, going to keep an eye on it and will replace if necessary. The shrader fitting broke off very cleanly from the line so it left a pretty solid and level area to braze it back onto, that makes me think it will be ok.

 

Well the braze worked for awhile but has failed. Perhaps brass doesn't hold up well to heat and vibration. I'm working on a deal for a replacement rail assembly.

 

sooo.... wan't me to weld a 1/8" NPT bung onto one of your rails? lol
