Thread: 101 brake and clutch fluid reservoir modification

Andy, this would be what AJ is sending you.


You will need a "T" piece.
You will also need to get another steel pipe made up to replace the threaded one at the reservoir (if you don't want to cut the original one).
And fasion a bracket. (I've not done that yet.)
This reservoir replaces the two with one. It is a solution for the problem of leakage in the master cylinder which causes the fluid to be transferred from one reservoir to the other. (Garry has connected his two reservoirs with a balance pipe for that problem.)

Progress is slow but that's ok.
The fuel tank has just come back from re-constructive surgery. I have a new series three fuel sender (I hope will fit) and a new fuel pump. I'm looking for some new screws and gasket. I'll run a POR15 fuel tank repair kit through it when the weather gets warmer and dryer. And it's painted black.

The Mercs are proving to be a bit of a drain on resources. Many visits to the expensive care ward.
The W112 is almost ready to pick up after having the cold start system rebuilt, some air suspension leaks plugged, engine and gearbox mounts replaced and just about every rubber bit in the suspension replaced. I'm told it drives beautifully with no clunking noises. The W109 needs valve stem seals replaced and A/C gas leaks plugged. And the indicators are intermittent.

The Tracks are almost ready to be registered. The Crump & Cornish needs much brake work but I want to register that soon too. Oh, I'm also looking at a No5.

And then there is the new project. Then the new new project that is about to enter the negotiating stage.

Then I'll get stuck into the 101's.

I have so many projects I am always entertained.
Oh, and today a mate told me about a series 2a with tool brackets that needs saving. Going cheap apparently. I'll check that one out. Hope it's a six cylinder.
