Thanks for the suggestion Rick. I was kinda thinking that way too, but I thought that the brain-trust here might have a idea of something that I didn't know or think about. I was actually thinking of having the tips rechromed to put on another layer. I'm not sure what it would cost.

bluel78 - I agree. I'm sure it wasn't due to anything we did. The splitting was on the lip where it's rolled over. I wonder if the forming of the tips was done after the chrome job. I'm sure that would stress the finish, along with expansion and contraction of the metal and the condensation dripping out the tip.

Kurt S - Nice one!!
