Here's my issue, after a soak in 50/50 vinegar water solution the 1st Stage Diaphragm Retainer Assembly all have loss there finish in the same place.
Is this going to be an issue? No other parts are effected.

A light coat of silicone grease on the corroded areas. But be careful not to get any on the environmental or main diaphragm sealing faces. It seems to work on my regs and makes disassembly much easier. I tried Christolube before but it seems to do the opposite and actually retain water. Also, not recommended if you will be using the reg for higher O2 mixtures (>36%).I just wondering why all four have the finish fail in the same place. Is there something I could coat that area with to protect it from the elements?
