67 BJ8 Brake Fluid Resivor

I am completly redoing the brakes on my Healey, lines, cylinders,calipers,pads, shoes, springs.
Does any one know of a replacement brake fluid tank made of plastic or aluminum? The brake fluid just eats the paint off the stock metal one.

I think that's four people using them now. I should go and buy stock in HELP before it goes through the roof. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If the car was a blue tri-carb two seater, that was a neighbor of mine who also put the diaphragm in. He's got a beautiful car. Oops, the makes five, I’m calling T.D Waterhouse!

Yep that was the car Greg. I remebered because his fuel line routing was a bit less than desired and we talked about some improvements he could make. His wheel Arches had been butchered to fit double acting shocks so he lost the anchor point for the fuel line clamp.---Keoke--- PS I am using one in each car. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
