Brake Fluid Reservoir

**mildred** · 23rd February 2010, 05:30 PM

hi there
I am looking for a new brake fluid reservoir for my S1, 1952 landie. Most places say that this item is now obsolete? how many times have we all heard that reply?
Anyway craddocks and blanchards have them but for about 80 pounds sterling, to much for me.
Would one of the discovery series 2 brake fluid reservoir tanks adapt and be usable in this situation?
I note that authenticity is not the object of the exercise, just keeping the vehicle in the paddock ..
.
goodbye Peter

you can make up an adapter for the later 2 bolt master cylinder..A chap in uk was selling them ... but if you have the ability ...you can make one , at your own risk

You should be able to get a S11 one and alter. I have adapted one in the past. Do recall seeing a reservoir advertised recently on ebay but not sure if is was UK or Aust.

Cheers
Dunno

Hi there Mike
thanks for the information, I tried looking for the part numbers that you mentioned but come up with nothing? that site seems to only sell fastenings of various types and not S1- brake parts, is that the correct site

Still expensive for a jam tin with a hole in the bottom but I guess beggars cannot be choosers.
