Brake fluid Canister on a RHD 100

Does anyone have a good photo of the location of the brake fluid canister on a RHD 100. I want to make sure we put it back in the correct location. It was not mounted in my car as a result of a PO bodge job. Thanks much.

Clausager shows one in right rear corner of engine compartment opening - on a 100S. I have a friend with a RHD BN-1 but it was converted from LHD so he isn't willing to swear by the reservoir location as it was moved to that position. Sorry not much help.

Other possibility would be to observe LHD BN-1/2s and just do the mirror image - can't think of any reason the factory cars wouldn't have been that way.

Also - check out the British AH clubs online and you may be able to connect with RHD owners and get the photo you need.

How about because it would be the logical thing to do :smile:

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to get a photo from an Australian owner via a FB group. So I am all set. Thankyou.

May be this will help you a little! But it's taken from my RHD BJ8 '67. I don't know if the container was located some where else on a 100.

If you need a picture taken a little closer let me know.

Here are some more Fotos. I'd rather go for the upper position of the brake fluid canister, because this way you are very close to the brake and clutch master cylinders.
