I have 3 leaky regulators, I'd like to combine 2 or 3 of them to be a multiple pressure setup so my questions are:

how do I combine them, just a brass nipple pipe and thread tape?
They all leak through the hole in the bonnet. is it worth rebuilding them, where should I look for parts? I took the black and blue ones apart and cleaned them, there was white chalky stuff in there, the rubber diaphragms seemed okay, put them back together and they still leak. How tight does the bonnet need to be?

Here is what i have:
black:Norgren model r81200lnka, co2, USA
blue: North American Dispense systems 70012, co2, nitrogen, air, USA (co2 mount)
light blue: RegO 1573L, USA
