I wonder if I have any of the old emails with directions to his house.
I could stalk him.

Silicone doesn't do ridiculous things with silicone; people do ridiculous things with silicone, and James was the King.

In the distant past when James last replied he was having some problems that were not bike related.

Hence the need for a F2F.
How about we find out where he lives, and crash his place next May with a surprise rally?

I haven't had the opportunity to test this notion, but you might rap on the rivets with a steel rod or some such instrument and see if the leaking one makes a different sound.
Boiler inspectors used to use a little hammer and a steel ball welded onto a long thin steel rod to test for loose rivets.
Hold the end of the rod, place the ball on the rivet and rap the vessel near the rivet; a "dead rivet" won't bounce the ball.
Doesn't have to be a boiler either, could be a riveted tank.
We could digress further....

I've been a boilermaker for over thirty years.
Haven't made a boiler yet........
I was a fireman for a coupla three years too.
Never lit one or put one out.

At least in the old days you would have fed one.
