[Healeys] Lid on fluid reservoir

[Michael Salter]

Hi Gary, you are correct with your description of the early reservoir lid. The one in your pic (black) appears to be the correct type but the center dome looks to be a bit damaged.
These early lids are pressed from steel and painted black rather than unpainted aluminium as were the later type and I believe that they were used on the single outlet reservoirs as used on the 100.
I've never seen a correct reproduction of the early lid.

Second request, Any thoughts on this?
The brake fluid reservoir on a early Healeys have a unique lid, different from the lids on all later Healeys. There are two differences. The early lids have a larger diameter dome on the top & the perimeter of the lid is knurled not faceted.
I ordered an early lid from Moss. The Moss lid is missing the the embossed word "Girling Ltd". Also, while the large dome in the center is present on the Moss lid, it is a flatter dome.
The black lid is from Moss & the silver lid is an original lid.
Is there source for a repro lid with the "Girling Ltd" embossed on it? Or 2 OE lids in very good condition?
