Damon,

I was just about to post the same thing. We had the same problem while
working on my friend's '85 GL (thank you Roadhaus Pay it Forward Fund).

As I understand it that part of the system is not under pressure - so we
were thinking about using JB Weld or something similar to reattache the
nipple. Either that or devise a way to install a small peice of copper pipe
as a replacement.

Either way I'd be interested in hearing other's ideas as well. I also
wondered if there was a source that carried new tanks all together.

Thanks,
