BJ8 brake reservoir?

[wangdango]

Working on cleaning up my engine compartment and am replacing the reservoir, I bought the decal from Moss but have doubt if it was originally fitted with one. Realize the decal is not something that would last on the car for a ton of time. Can anyone show me a picture on how the decal is supposed to be fitted? I am not looking for a concours car but just for it to be "right"
Thanks
Ed

The concours guide shows the following for your BJ8:

If you buy a can of 2K (two part) epoxy clear coat (about $20) from a good paint store, the stuff will resist brake fluid for a long time. It is urethane paint. Good stuff.

Ha ... I saw the 100 on Ed's profile pic and ASSumed his car would have the 'Girling' decal. Duane is correct, I believe, in that BJ8s only had the 'Brake/Clutch' decal (but, I don't think the 'Girling' would look too out of place on a BJ8 reservoir).

Ed,

My BN6 reservoir showing the decal location and orientation. I agree with Bob, it would look fine on a BJ8, just not original.

Guys - it looks kinda Las Vegasy!

But, they are as original on earlier cars (per Roger Moment). That matters to some of us (I have one on our BN2's reservoir).
