Hey all!
Sorry...it's me again. I am trying to identify another part that appears to have been broken by the body shop. I BELIEVE it is the upper fluid reservoir from the master cylinder, but I can't find anything that looks the same on the various usual-suspect online stores. Can someone confirm what part the body shop broke from the photo, and ideally direct me to a replacement?

Might just want to replace it with a later style one, if you cant find a 68 only reservoir. You'll have to re-mount it somehow, but it may save you a lot of headache down the road. _________________ Brutis Patches Izabich: 1970 VW Transporter - 1776cc DP

I just ordered one for mine too. They were out of stock last week. So much for registering for their "back in stock" notifications. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

If you get all, and I do mean ALL, of the brake fluid off that you can plastic weld or glue that back together too. _________________ .ssS! |

Looks like the threads for the lid departed years ago and the whole thing is super brittle and crumbly.
I JB welded one years ago and it did hold up fine, until I put DOT4 in it, seems JB weld doesn't like that too much. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

WOOHOOO!! My CIP1 1968 only brake reservoir showed up today.
And it come with all the precision quality that we've all come to expect from "Made in China" aftermarket parts
GUARANFUKINTEED to not fit & leak profusely!
To get it to work, I carefully trimmed away the excess flashing with a small knife, then after getting the ID as round & centered as I could, I carefully reamed the opening out with a NEW, sharp 9/16" drill bit BY HAND!
After that, I removed the seal from the tube & carefully inserted it into the reservoir outlet & then pushed it down onto the tube. No sign of it leaking yet. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

CIP1 sent me an email requesting a review of this part, I sent them one explaining that while it looked like the part, it doesn't work without modification, they haven't posted my review, I doubt they will. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Well, consider yourself damned lucky that you got something to work with and turn into a usable part. _________________ John

You're right, it works much better than just the tube, it's all a matter of perspective. And for $25 it was a much better deal than the used one for $100. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
