Brake Fluid Reservoir

In the process of going through the hydraulics on my 1959 TR3. The fluid reservoir that supplies both the clutch and the brake is very badly rusted. In addition, the tube inside that separates the fluid for the two systems has split. Any recommendations on what to do? Has anyone used the Classic Gold repro cylinder from Moss? Is it good? Other options?

Also, both master cylinders look good so I am going to rebuild those, but the clutch slave looks really bad. What is the best replacement slave cylinder?

Thanks.
 
I replaced my old original reservoir with the repro from Moss about a year ago. It is configured a little differently from the original, as the original had the tube centered in the reservoir and the repro has it on the side. But that doesn't seem to make any difference. Unfortunately, the fluid eats the paint around and on the cap as badly as it did on the original, so no change there.
 
Interesting. Maybe this car had a repro unit already in it since the cylinder is not centered, but sits off at an angle.
