Title: Where can I get the white plastic caps for the brake reservoir?
Post by: scoot on May 21, 2021, 15:02:02

I need two of the caps like the ones shown in the picture.  I can find new reservoirs with caps, but can't find the caps by themselves.  I'm sure others have run into this problem and I _did_ search the forum first.  Pic attached.
thanks!

A quick eBay search found these - 392398630756, not the ones picture though, but may be good until full on proper ones can be sourced.

Yeah, I have seen caps that look like those for sale.  I'm trying to get the original style.

It’s a long shot but I would suggest calling Vintage Euro Parts. They might have them even though the caps aren’t on their website.

Good idea, from Mrfatboy.

You might try the same approach at Buds Benz or KK, they may have some stuff in the used parts pile that might fill the bill, and those would never be on the website.

Another is MBZ Parts

I don’t know what I am talking about, but would these be good candidates for additive manufacturing (3D printing)?

No.  Those are for a later style reservoir.
