After careful inspection I found the spot where the leak is located. It is in the spring pocket where it got thin after machining for the big springs. We used the 060 shim but still cut through in several pockets. Those repairs were made with brass. The radius cutter probably would have helped. Great idea!! I am going to either braze or silver solder this leak. Anyone have any suggestions. Then we will probably use the goodson sealer after the welded repair.

Thanks for the help.
