mk11 brake fluid reservoir

[yardcommander]

I have a 1985 Lotus Esprit vS3 turbo that from what I can basically see uses the same mk11 brake fluid reservoir, and I am trying to chase a new one or one in better condition than mine. was told to join a forum and make enquiries through the people who know.
Can anybody assist me.

Can you send me an image of your one to ralphmk1@hotmail.co.uk as I have new ones?

Thanks, I have sent 2 emails as was not sure if photos were to big for yahoo mail. One will be from annpaconnor@yahoo.com.au which is our primary the other is gmail.

theres a place in rochdale lancs that will recondition your unit, a lot of servos look similar but thr rear rod can be differant

Thanks, I’m in Australia, the lotus esprit master cylinder is vw t4 van and the vacuum servo is unknown even to lotus and SJ Sportscars and no longer serviceable and I have already sorted those out, but thanks again anyway.

yes a bit far but you could always post , or give him a bell , he did one for me a while back there was thousands of servos on shelfs in boxes on benches maybe he could identify it from a pic

The servo, brake master and clutch slave have all been sorted, it’s now just the reservoir.

Yes, I’ve looked there, there’s 1 there looks a bit similar but it says 86-95 and only 1 photo so can’t confirm it is the same. Will wait to hear back from one of the members who thinks he might have one.

If you look next to that one you've seen there is a button to ask a question about the item, they are helpful and friendly.

It looks like it might be this one.

This is from a Transit Mk3 86-91 Bendix/Bosch Double Split master cylinder. The photo is from Brakeparts.co.uk who have it under their reference BMC4274 and as out of stock and "rare". It looks like they would only sell it as a new master cylinder and reservoir together.

But if this is it, then it might give you a direction to continue the search.
