[TR] Brake Fluid Reservoir

[wbeech at flash.net]

I used copper washers when I rebuild my can last year and so far so good.
Other have used a type of rubber washer that is probably very effective as
well.  ISTR that the big washer under the center reservoir is to help hold
it in shape when you tighten everything down.

Subject: [TR] Brake Fluid Reservoir

List, has anybody refurbished a TR3 brake fluid reservoir? I've got one
apart, I was surprised it came apart. The can looks good but it leaked past
the fittings on the bottom. It appears that the aluminum washers have given
up the fight. Could I use copper washers instead?  
Also, there is a large (1 inch OD) washer on the brake side, inside the can,
but the clutch chamber did not have a washer. Does it just seal to the
bottom inside of the can using its rim as a washer. Seems a bit iffy. I was
thinking of putting a washer there, also. Any help/ ideas/advice is
appreciated.
