anodizing is not perfect, nor of uniform thickness
anodizing does not prevent corrosion, simply retards its onset
and when the corrosion starts, which it will, the effects will be concentrated in a much smaller area
all this to use a matl of lesser performance ?
certainally a BAD idea for the bp
is it a better idea for the top ?
some reduction in matl cost,
not too significant a reduction in machine time for the drilling and tapping required,
a slight weight reduction
offset by the sos
worth it ??
compared to a soldered top and soldered barbs ??
if WCing is ever to go mainstream, reliability IS the issue to address
