plastic brake/clutch fluid reservoirs (101/series 3)

Sorry for the glut of 101 questions but i have decided that next month
is going to be 'get the damn 101 back on the road month!' as I have a
wedding transport job on in it

The 101 has plastic brake and clutch reservoirs on the dash and mine
are knackered, so i need new ones.

The clutch one is the same as a series 3 clutch reservoir (on some
S3's i have seen anyhow). The brake one looks the same but has an
extra brake juice orifice on it.

Richard at beamends has assured me that they are lucas items which i
can get from the local lucas stockist - but i need the part numbers if
this is the case. can anybody help?

it would be a lot quicker and easier if i can get them from somewhere
like bowers (who also do eberspacher bits apparently!)

i'd rather not have to pull them off first in order to take them there
to identify though.

hmm. could do..

Club had them reproduced because dual reservoir was no longer
available. Part no 595447 is a 101 unique part (not used elsewhere in
Rover at least). Single reservoir is a standard lucas part LR no
90577636.
You could try Craddock, Blanchard or Dunsfold but best bet is club.

Or you can have mine for £4500 and I'll throw in the rest! ;-)

Also the dual one is brake and clutch, the single is brake. They crack
up due to action of sunlight, most of us keep them covered with a rag.

too late for mine to cover it now. might bend a little shield up out
of ally (or design one and persuade steve to bend them one day )

I didnt know they were split like that. I thought they would have kept
the brake in one!.
i suppose i could use 3 of the single reservoirs rather than a single
and a double...

You COULD mod a single into a double...

does it not have a central seperated reservoir like the metal
brake/clutch reservoir on the 2A? (one of which would probably work in
the 101 as the plastic one is probably a newer version of it)

I'm guessing modding would at the least involve me drilling a hole in
the bottom and fitting some of the correctly threaded fittings through
it? It would probably leak then though!.
I guess i would need a male-male coupler type bit and a nut to fit on
the inside and then a couple of washers to try and seal it.

I could turn you one up if you want. Say 1" diameter ?

Never have found a decent low cost maker for custom brake pots. :-(

1" for which bit?

>Never have found a decent low cost maker for custom brake pots. :-(

No i remeber talk of getting some made but they always cost a lot

I've found the lucas girling number: 64046304 and will see if i can
get it locally but unlikely if the club actually get em made.

I might have to get it from the club.

Not from LR, but Lucas make them (or did, last March). They are
used on a number of other classic vehicles.

I've got them from Bowers before - the bloke (or one of them,
anyway) found them in his book with no trouble. I'd stock them,
but demand is rather on the low side.....

There's a brake specialist in Rochdale that will most likely have them, if
you want I will mail you their number.

Don't say it cannot be done, rather what is needed to do it!
