mk I brake reservoir leaking

[wmasscaddy]

Seems like this part (811 611 301) is no longer available. Is there a way to find one that will fit from another car? Is there a database somewhere for reservoir barb spacing? What do you do in this situation? We're all going to have this problem eventually.

These guys sell a MK1 alloy one for ~125 USD:

Easy peasy.

Some folks have switched out the entire MC & booster.
Not so easy.

Other option?
I'm thinkin 3D printing, using PTEG plastic (same as the bottles).
Some issues:
I don't have a reservoir in front of me to model, they are like 100USD if you can get one.
The originals look like they're made in two pieces, a good method to weld halves together would be needed to do the same.


PS ECS lists them for ~60usd, not sure if they really have em.

So the plastic is cracked? or the grommets between the master and reservoir leak?

When I get a new master I use the old grommets,.. since the new grommets that come with the master seem to leak sometimes.

Ive had those grommets turn real soft and bad.
If its them, i have some, havent looked at them, but they werent leaking when the car was running. Pm me if you want me to check
