You can either replace it with a new one (they aren't >expensive) or weld your old one up (with reinforcement in the obvious >area where it cracked). Good luck. This is a good call! The original one in the car had cracked and been welded. I replaced it with a junkyard one, and it didn't fix anything but it WAS a good suggestion. Last weekend I replaced the hose going from the reservoir to the master cylinder, drained and pressure-bled the system. Didn't do any good at all but the original hose was a little grotty. Next weekend the project is going to be to change the hose and pipe between the master and slave cylinders, JUST so I can say I have replaced everything. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
