Looking for brake fluid reservoir cap
I'm leaking fluid from the brake reservoir on my '72 K5. It's got a crate 350, but uses the original power brake system.
The reservoir has the rubber gasket with the double-baffle insert tucked inside the "hood" that gets clamped onto the reservoir. I'm striking out at the local (Atlanta area) NAPA and AutoZone-type stores. They carry the entire master cylinder assembly, but not the rubber gasket insert. I realize I can try a junkyard, but I'm wonder whether any board member sells these parts or has a better idea. Thanks in advance!

Re: Looking for brake fluid reservoir cap
I went through the same thing a few years ago, then found that Oreilly's offered a rebuilt master cylinder for around $17. It wasn't worth it to me to keep searching.

Yeah well, let's not get all excited yet
![]() My PO put a nonoriginal m/c on the Jimmy, so the one I am offering may not be your style. LMK ![]()
