Gotta try to get a pic uploaded. Might have to resize it smaller, nothing larger than 1mb will load. And most smartphones depault pic size is about 4x's too big. It won't give you an error or anything to let you know either, it will just fail to load.
As to the fitting, was it the threaded in fitting that perhaps broke off inside? If so, you need an easy-out extractor and remove the broke part and replace.
If it was the part with female threads that gets welded to the cylinder....it can be repaired by welding back on. But if it's the rod-side port, you may want to disassemble the cylinder so you don't melt the gland seals. If it's the base end port, extending the cylinder all the way to get the piston seals away from the heat should be all that's needed.
