There are rubber gaskets in the bottom of the can that I want to replace, but can't find a listing at Moss or TRF. Are these available from anyone, or am I going to have to make something??

I sure don't want to buy a new can for $80. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
 
Cut the round rubber gaskets to size from a sheet of rubber that you know for sure won't be attacked or turn gummy in contact with the type of brake fluid you are using. I use silicone brake fluid. You will need a long socket to get down into the bottom to hold the inner nut while you tighten the outer nut. Make them really tight not to leak, especially when you come to tighten the fittings for the clutch and brake pipes that screw up to these on the bottom of the resrvoir.
