I've been searching for a replacement seal for the fluid reservoir lid for my 1981 XJS, but I can't find any listing anywhere, other than to buy a complete lid at great expense.
Has anyone come across a source of these at all?
Thanks
Scott.

 

Sadly NO.

Try Power Brakes at Gilles Plains, ya never know.

Dont ask for it by make and model, basiclly drop it on the counter and state" I want of these", and that has worked for me at odd times.

Mainly when restoring the old Rover. Front wheel cylinders were the same as rears on early Valiant, but the books dont tell you that.

 

Thanks Grant, Worth a try I guess.

 

I have gone through three reservoirs in 17 years. They leak and as you say, it seems impossible to buy just the lid, and the entire thing is idiotic money. So this last time I went aftermarket, much cheaper, much better made. this is what it looked like from the supplier (but all aftermarket places have them):

The only thing is you need 8 mm hoses and then a reducer in the line to step them down to the size of the master cylinder inlet. Not difficult to do.
