My rear brake reservoir is leaking around the lid....anyone know where i can buy a new one? I saw a billet aluminum one on ebay, has anybody ever used one? I have a new caliper, new mastercylinder...the pads are good. and i still dont have brakes, i do, but there not good enough to stop me. i noticed there was some fluid tryin to come out from around the lid when i hit the lever, if i get that fixed should my brakes work correctly?

the billet brake resivior is about halfways down on this page. i use it, it works great. i had the same problem as u, my stock plastick resivior was warped and not sealing up.

thats pretty crazy..i went ahead and ordered one from them, they must be the only people that has them? How did your rubber piece and plastic piece fit in the billet lid? where can i buy a new rubber..lol

Ive heard those billet units arent good to have close to the exhaust stinger b/c they get hot and hold heat....

Anyone have any probs w/ rear brakes w/ these things? :confused: They do look nice...

thanks, it should be here in a few days, hopefully by friday. the only thing i need is braided lines. id like to have a braided line that goes from my reservoir to my cylinder and one from the cylinder to the caliper. do they make both or just the line running to the caliper? and as far as looks go, it will look great..but its kinda like having a chrome starter, or a billet timing cover on a chevy, its there, but you never really get to see it. unless my fenders are off.

Then there's no reason to have steel braided line on the line from the reservoir to the master cylinder.There is no pressure on that line.
