Does anyone know where I can get these ? I serviced mine today and knocked the roller pin the wrong way and pierced the reservoir >_< which I'm assuming will affect the performance of my brakes lol. Mines the later type seen here : http://tinyurl.com/cwoogd4
I literally just need the reservoir, don't really fancy forking out £100, for a new master cylinder !
thanks in advance

Its to do with brakes id spend top money on brake componats as id not want to buy 2nd hand and you dont know if it works right and buy cheap buy twice and you may not have a 2nd chance if it fails wen braking people may diss agree but thats my opinion just buy that then your probs wont have to buy another one for a long while

I think you'd be reasonably safe with a used/spurious plastic bottle. If you can't track down one off a dead cylinder, you may find a non servo Metro cylinder is cheaper, but then you wouldn't also have a spare cylinder for your money.

There's nothing wrong with mine though it's literally just the reservoir I've just serviced it but I see what you mean
I'm in Gillingham (medway), if you have a spare reservoir that would be great, like I say I've renewed the rest of it, just a hole in the reservoir oops !! lol
Thanks everyone for the help, if Yodas doesn't fit it looks like a second hand ones the best option :)
