Brake reservoir

I’ve got an old brake ‘tin can’ type fluid reservoir on my ‘33 Singer. Externally it is great with the original transfers still visible (ie. I don’t wish to replace it!), internally however there is rust and gunk.

Is there a tank seal I could use to make it usable? - I intend to use silicone brake fluid in the system.

Thanks in anticipation!

What type of mc have you got - i've just fitted a universal type on a landrover mc. I wouldn't use silicon brake fluid - i'll get out a publication for you if you like. Main negative is if you want to revert to normal fluid it is a devil to get out of the system.

Thanks for the reply!
......I took a long hard look at the original tank and concluded that even after extensive internal cleaning it would still be dodgy (for brakes anyway!)

Found a site that did a nice new MK1 Landie fluid tank of similar style -£33

Would be interested in the info on the fluid still...... seems the way to go.

Regards!
