We have been working on this for some time now and are going into production soon.

The brake reservoir covers. I had seen these in the past and since no one wants crud on the top of the reservoir to get into the system, I decided to make these.

I made these in 2 flavors, The thinner material like OEM and a material that is slightly thicker and looks more like the reservoir itself. The thicker one is the 1st prototype shown.

I did actually stumble across one being used in the wild at WCR too!

These will be ready in about a week. Pricing to follow shortly. You know me it will be reasonable.

In the wild

You're right: I didn't.

Are you only producing the version with the overflow spigot? My cap on the 73' only has a hole. My guess is to prevent vacuum from building. The reservoir is solid around the top edge. No means for the fluid to escape. I think the spigot version requires a clear tube and the clamp differs.

I've seen (pictures) of these in the past and tried to find them to no avail. Nice addition - I'm in.

I'll take one as well.
Thanks!

1 for the ticker version for me sir Mark

I’m in for one of the thinner OEM type.
Had the car since new and don’t think it ever had one, or one of the first services just never replaced it.
Something similar to the dust cap inside the dizzy over the rotor. Very similar material and never to be found ( mine’s still there).

I run the old ones (aftermarket I believe) on both of my cars
but got them years and years ago.

Mark, if you need to see one as your prototyping... let me know

There is a placement for the hole. They don't have to be cut out. It may be easiest just to request no hole for overflow when ordering.

Saw Marks prototype at WCR last week; a very clean looking replacement.

I’d like one too. Thicker is fine with me.

Please add me for one!

Well, got to protect the area from the dirt.
In!

I'm in for 2. One oem and one thicker. Thanks Mark

These were never a factory part. Always aftermarket. A good addition though.

Oh great, more stuff to buy from 914 Rubber!

That might explain it. Mine has what looks like a hinge claw and a tab knob on the opposite side, so maybe another multi car use item with some cars having the cap and some not, depending on potential for dirt exposure?

I will take a thicker one please

I've never had occasion to look, so is the 914 BF reservoir also used in any other cars such as VW's?

I’ll take four of these!

sure why not

Neat

I will also be needing 4 of these.

Put me down for one. My 914, owned since new, did not come with one of these. Always looked like something was missing.

Never original equipment. An accessory.
As for venting.....or vacuum, early cars had a round shouldered non-vented cap and a
nipple on the resevoir with a drain hose toward the ground.
Later cars had a square shouldered vented cap. On these overflow was contained by
the perimeter wall on the top of the resevoir.
PS never push your caliper pistons back with a full resevoir and a vented cap on a late car.
You'll squirt brake fluid skyward.

Look on P.7 of your Haynes. Is the spout cast in to your cover?

This is a great after market product to recreate

thick

I will take a thick one. I had one in the past. I think it came from Automotion.
Thanks

One thick and one thin for me please.

I'm in for 1 thick.

Two thick caps please

The cover has a notch that gets cut out if you have the spigot. It slips over it nicely but will require you to remove the hose and reinstall it after the cover is on. You can see the one we saw at WCR was cut for it and didn't have the overflow. The more opaque version I made (thicker) makes it hard to see as the reservoir is new and the same material. I'll get some better pics up next week.
Mark

Mark,
I’ll take 1 thicker version.

I am in. Thicker version as well.

Thanks

PMs sent to all so far

Hey @Mikey914 - no PM from you in my box….

I will take a thicker one please.

Thick one for me please

I'm sorry wrong thread. I meant to put this on the grill and seal GB.
These are still in production.. will be ready soon.
I'm posting up on phone as I'm on the road and I dorked ot up.
Sorry

I'm in.

Mark -

Put me down for a thick one.

Thanks,

GN

Mark,

Thin or thick.
The one i have form Automotion was thin.

Mark,

And I will take one.
Thanks

Good news is the prices will be less, looks like an old paper catalog.

I will take one. Thanks.

That's where I saw those years ago through the Automotion/Performance Products catalog. I knew I saw those somewhere as an aftermarket option. Glad to see Mark at 914Rubber is recreating a great accessory. With all that in mind put me in for two of the thicker style ones.

I'll take one of these
