Great ~ thanks guys, I learned something more about S Types.

It would seem quite a major change to make so late in the production cycle of a model


I am disappointed that you didn't already know this Glyn.lol.
LOL! I try to learn new things every day. Keeps my tired old mind active.

Is this bolt correct for holding the brake fluid reservoir?

It seems unlikely with a Philips head like that. More likely a plain hex bolt, I would expect. Is it in the Parts Manual?

Albion this is an original bracket with screw that is in my many boxes of parts. It is a flat head screw with a small nut on the back.

Regarding Norman's concerns about brake fluid out of the vent hole, I simply glued a diaphragm across the lid seal. Works a treat.

Done as I posted this thread to anther forum.
