1976 F Brake Fluid Reservoir

[XXX]

I wanted to show off my new brake fluid reservoir. The original was leaking so I had it brazed (see pic) by a certified aviation welder. A year later and it was leaking again. Found a used one and when it arrived it had pin holes around the port for the brake line. No luck finding another replacement so had to go owner manufactured route. My buddy and I created this from a solid block of 6061 aluminium. Should have done this from the beginning.

Very nice, always thought those types of reservoirs were cheesy (Piper, Beech, etc....)

Wow, nice machine work.

I bet that one won't rust out like the other (<, less than) original one...  

Nice machining skills!

Best regards,

Nice work.  Tap the top and put in a petcock so you can fill it without removing the lid.  Bonus points for doing a sight gauge on the side so you can check the level.... since you have the tap set out...

Very nice!

I'd be interested to hear how your PMA approval goes.  Once you get the PMA you can make other products as well.
