Does anyone have any of the Volvo 240 brake reservoirs? I'm looking for two of them. I was able to swap the German master for a TRW/Vargas and it appears to have the larger nipples. I could use one for each of the buggies if they are still around. (one for the Manx and one for the Towd)

Thanks,

Bob

Bob, your best bet is the local salvage yard. I picked mine up for about 5 bucks.

What gives? A volvo MC on a buggy. Is this a better solution then a bus MC?

Do you have a part #


Thanks

Correct me if I am wrong but the bus MC is only a single system unit. The others are dual system which are much safer.

Well the one I have is a dual system. Maybe it's a later model unit.

MPQ It's not the whole master cylinder. It's just the reservior. They fit on the beetle master cylinder.
