My Posts This: Topic Forum | FlightsI have 33 flights on the side mount zimmerman now imnxtc. So far so good no cracks and no leaks so I'm happy for that.
The rear mount zimmerman doesn't work well for the Spectra so price is irrelevant. I did state before that that and the hatori are the expensive ones, but you missed that.
The side mount zimmerman is much more affordable compared to those two. The v4 is the cheapest of them all, but again if it doesn't stay tight and / or keeps leaking every once in a while then its not worth it for me even if it was 1/2 the cost.
I did also fly the Century for many flights, much more than 200, but I had to put up with leaks and during that time I tried the regular gasket, a copper gasket, a copper gasket sandwiched by regular gaskets, red rtv, and all sealed for a while but eventually sprung a leak which was annoying.
The zimmerman I just bolted it on like you expect to with the gasket from day 1 and it hasn't leaked.
Not saying its perfect I'm hoping it is as I don't have enough mileage on it to prove it yet. It may crack sure, hope not, if it does I'll report it here as I'm all about the good and the bad no matter what it is, compared to saying "only the good" to mask the bad, not my style.
If you want to try a V4, I got one here for you. Just shoot me a PM.
