We have been working on this for some time now and are going into production soon.

The brake reservoir covers. I had seen these in the past and since no one wants crud on the top of the reservoir to get into the system, I decided to make these.

I made these in 2 flavors, The thinner material like OEM and a material that is slightly thicker and looks more like the reservoir itself. The thicker one is the 1st prototype shown.

I did actually stumble across one being used in the wild at WCR too!

These will be ready in about a week. Pricing to follow shortly. You know me it will be reasonable.

Are you only producing the version with the overflow spigot? My cap on the 73' only has a hole. My guess is to prevent vacuum from building. The reservoir is solid around the top edge. No means for the fluid to escape. I think the spigot version requires a clear tube and the clamp differs.

I've seen (pictures) of these in the past and tried to find them to no avail. Nice addition - I'm in.

I’m in for one of the thinner OEM type.
Had the car since new and don’t think it ever had one, or one of the first services just never replaced it.
Something similar to the dust cap inside the dizzy over the rotor. Very similar material and never to be found ( mine’s still there).

I run the old ones (aftermarket I believe) on both of my cars
but got them years and years ago.

Mark, if you need to see one as your prototyping... let me know

There is a placement for the hole. They don't have to be cut out. It may be easiest just to request no hole for overflow when ordering.

These were never a factory part. Always aftermarket. A good addition though.

That might explain it. Mine has what looks like a hinge claw and a tab knob on the opposite side, so maybe another multi car use item with some cars having the cap and some not, depending on potential for dirt exposure?

I've never had occasion to look, so is the 914 BF reservoir also used in any other cars such as VW's?
