Brake fluid reservoir
« on: September 01, 2016, 09:20:44 »
Anyone know where I can get a replacement brake fluid reservoir for my 230sl? Trying to fit a new master cylinder but the old reservoir just decayed in my hand.

Extensive internet search has not been successful.

thanks in advance

It's listed for $649.75!!!  Unbelievable!  Must be the last one on this planet.

KK Mfg lists it at $69, with the proviso "Call for availability"
Benz Restorer - shows on his site $100
Millers, Buds and SLS indicate no availability.

The brake fluid reservoir on my 1966 230SL is different from the pictures at www.authenticclassics.com, see pictures below. I also checked with the spare parts catalog, and the drawing is similar to the reservoir fitted on my car.
Is the reservoir offered by Authentic Classics the correct one for 230SL (and early 250SL)?
