Craig,

According to the TR6 handbook on page 58 the fluid level should never go below 
the danger line. As pictured it is where the top oval portion of the reservoir 
meets the lower straight portion. So I would guess that any level above that 
is ok up to the bottom of the filler cap.

I just finished bleeding my 72 brakes and I left the fluid level to about 1/2 
below the lower cap.
