I just polish the originals up.
I sand all the lettering flat and then show them the mop.

I find Grate polish brings the lustre back to the reservoirs, it's basically graphite paste. I suspect that brake fluid will wash it off but it's so easy to re-apply that it's not an issue.

I do have a couple of custom covers I will send you a picture of, but they are not spectacular!

Polished lids with grate polished bodies.. Been done for some time and might be a bit dusty!



Custom lids, need a polish and a breather hole. Both on clutch bodies but they're not handed. The stainless button head screws go with them.

Which size brake master cylinder do you have? Some have the same lid as the clutch, but others (Later twin disc) are bigger.

I've got a pair of CNC Racing covers machined from billet, not coloured look great. To suit early type of coffin resevoirs, i.e. same size yours for £50 the pair. To have a look at a pic follow the link below.
