King Seeley Gas Gauge Repair

Hello!

I'd like to repair the gas gauge on a 726 back to its original functionality. My understanding is that the bromide that fills the gauge eats at the potmetal unit it is contained in until, as my grandfather describes it, the fluid starts to leak out onto your shoes.

I understand that replacement parts for these are readily available at Classic and Exotic Service, Inc., and they look to be made of brass. They also sell the fluid to fill the gauges. How do those parts hold up over time? Do these gauges inevitably break again?
