Is that a new rail or cleaned and coated?

If the schrader valve screws into a body that then screws into the FR then I would use a little Loctite 542 thread sealer, if your on about just the schrader valve itself then no dry assemble only, cant remember what how it mounts now and my car is all covered up at the moment so cant check

Where can you get cadmium plating done these days? I thought it had been banned except for safety critical aerospace stuff

Loctite 542 (as already suggested). Don't use PTFE tape, bits may end up inside
