John, the only thing about your answer that bothers me is that the only black
resevours that I have seen are refinished. The Land Rover uses the same
resevour on pre series III cars and I have never seen a painted one on a Land
Rover ether. If this was something that Girling did, I would imagine that it
would show up across models.
