Jim,

I'll have to go out to the SDL and see how the captive GP nut and connector work. I still think a new GP should come with a new nut on it unless the nut is not removable from the connector.

As you probably know, I'm a big proponent of the "not broke, don't fix" philosophy. Especially with GP. GP are kind of like a light bulb, they either work or they don't.

Seems like U were lucky that the GP that "broke" were ones you could get at to R&R. I probably won't be as lucky.
