    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

brake master cylinder reservoir repair

Hi all,

I was rebuilding my master cylinder and when trying to remove the reservoir I put my thumb through the side. Yes, there was a thumb shaped piece broken out of the reservoir:)

I cleaned the parts with simple green, hot water, and tooth brush. After drying I fitted the pieces into place and used thin CA (Cyanoacrylate) glue. The glue wicked into the aged plastic making the reservoir much stronger. I would recommend trying the glue if your reservoir is chalky and brittle.

Be sure to get good CA and the thin type (like water) from a hobby shop.
