Do I need new brake reservoirs?

Depending on the price and if they can be powder coated.

So is there a group buy ?

Mine are leaking from the bottom of of the Girling cans. I am pretty sure if I replace the gasket at the bottom it may solve my problem.

However, I am itching to do the Kirkham cans if we get a good price as a group buy

Please count me in on the Kirkham group buy.

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,

Where can you find repros of the original cans? I have only seen the lids. Even if I got the Kirkham cans, I'd have them powder coated black. My problem is that I want to get mine powder coated, but don't want to lose driving the car during the interim.
