Don't get a chrome one. Get a stock type one and paint or powder coat it orange. The chrome ones with the o-ring will always leak eventually. (By always, I really mean "often".

A forum member recommended this one which has been good to me, if you must go chrome:

I had those that rotted from the inside, made in Mexico, bought at a parts store.
