Hiya guys, a few questions to the more knowledgeable;
1, is the plastic reservoir available for sale anywhere
Or can this plastic be cleaned up?
2, is the 'o' ring available that sits inside?
3, what's the best way to clean out all the old brake fluid/crud?
cheers freddy

Thanks for the reply chaps
Steve, the o ring arrived safe and sound, thanks very much.
cleaned up nice (especially after a couple of dips into the ultrasonic cleaner
).
The fluid reservoir won't clean up properly
Cheers freddy
