T2 brake fluid reservoir cap

perelaar · 06-05-2015, 06:39

as the title says: I'm looking for a Terrano 2 brake fluid reservoir cap.
Recently bought a Eezibleed kit, but the cap for T2 is not included.

Note: I'm located in Belgium - might have an impact on cost of sending

No one a brake reservoir cap lying around? Impossible to find in Belgium, without you buy the entire master cylinder...

I managed to get a cap for mine, but I was tempted to drill my original, then plug it after, with a stainless steel nut and bolt and sealing washer.
Hope it helps.

I thought of that as well, but knowing Mr MOT man here I don't think it is a good idea.

They seem to dislike old 4x4s more and more

Make the bolt slightly longer, and tell him is a dip stick...

Fit a Schrader valve it the top of old one

as said, MOT here is quite a bit more strict than UK. Also, I have a homologation MOT coming up, to have my T2 officially recognised as utility vehicle. Better not have obvious modifications for that one. There's quite a lot depending on it - yearly road tax reduction from almost 700 to 150 €
