Do I need new brake reservoirs?

AH if there was only a "group buy" for these cans from Kirkham! I think there was once before but I missed that boat a while back. Bueller... Bueller...

I'd probably be in if there was a group buy.....

Are the Kirkham cans the same dimension as the originals? Will Girling lids fit them? I assume there is no issue with powder coating them?

To prevent the fluid from slopping out of the cap get 2 or 3 of these rubber accordian looking parts from almost any Autoparts store to put inside the Girling cap. It will prevent the fluid from getting out and eating your paint. Actually I prefer Silicone so I don't have paint remover issues. Also someone had a good point not filling them up so full.

All of these have a perfect fit inside the Girling metal caps.

I guess the Kirkham billet can is ok if you like bling I prefer the the cans that come with the Carbon Cars from Exact. You can be billet and have a very original appearance at the same time. It all depends on your taste I suppose.



Happy Motoring,
