Bondo - once again you come thru - Thanks for the input.Ayuh,.... I would,.... The failure point is the thinnin' of the webs, 'tween wet, 'n dry, At the Gasket Surfaces,.....
Yer's are still plenty fat,.....
I'd clean 'em up one more time with a nice flat file,.....
Get the Gasket Surfaces nice, 'n flat,.....
Then use Merc gaskets on dry,....

Thanks Bondo - I appreciate your input. I will get a new coupler.Ayuh,.... That coupler is worn out, the tips of the splines look pointy, rather than flat-topped,....
