Re: What brake reservoir 55 TF

What would I have to do to keep the accordion seal working correctly with the fittings in the cap.

nothing if the cap has one it should work just like the one in the master cylinder it just expands down allowing the volume to fill with air but keeping it from contact with the fluid. the vacuum provided by the master pulling fluid into the lines will pull down the seal as it is needed. the key is the air hole allowing the seal to expand and compress.

think of it this way. your master cylinder cap has a seal that is accordion style already. you are removing this replacing with a seal around the edges (including middle) then hoses up the remote res.

then the accordion style seal should now be in the cap of your remote reservoir.

That is the part I wasn't sure of. I will look for a seal for the master cylinder to replace the accordion one it has.
