I notice that my original flip top has a "cork" gasket and is very hard. There appears to be an old worn rubber gizmo in the spiral spring between the top of the flip top and the sealing part.
Can I remove the spread center and the washer and then replace the parts with perhaps a new rubber washer and clean the spiral spring and get rid of the worn out rubber thingie between the top and the sealing part. Then, tap the center of the old spread part and install a bolt to hold everything together?
Anyone messed with this?
Is it worth re-chroming or replating, or should I just buy a new one.
