Cracked upper brake reservoir

[davla]

I've got a 1968 LHD and the brake reservoir behind the kick panel is cracked. Does anyone know were I can get one as JK, VW Heritage, C&C etc don't seem to have the correct one. Thx

I believe there’s a place in the states that sell reproduction ones, but the last time I saw one for sale, the buyer had had to buy 10 or so, and was selling for over 50 quid a piece. Unfortunately, they’re like hens teeth...

Oh ok, I guess I'll have to replace with a universal reservoir, has anyone got any suggestions?

Hello.
I guess the reservoir you're looking for is this one: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D211%2D611%2D313%2DE
I've been looking for this for a long time and I've turned on the option "Email me when Back-In-Stock" but didn't get any email about it for years.... so, I guess they will never get it back "in stock".
I think I'll send some emails to second hand parts shops and hope they have one in a better condition that the original one I have.... but due to all that I have to do before I need to put this part in place, I've been postponing this search....

Besides trying to get one through second hand market, I don't have any other proven suggestion.... maybe getting a longer tube and trying to apply this one: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D211%2D611%2D309 or even this one: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D211%2D611%2D301%2DCM

It took me 5 or so years to find a nos 68 reservoir. I had a contact who was willing to 3d print me one and he seemed confident he had some suitable material to do it but I didn't progress it in the end
