amazing work as always john!
Went ahead and used the proper mold material for the top cap while I was making the other 2 molds.
I am going to let these molds further cure out on heat before using.
Test fitting the inserts that will be installed and resin mix poured over looked good.
I most likely will get a pour in tomorrow and de-mold Monday night.

Got to pull first part from it today, got a learning curve to do with the rubber material itself (baby power in the mold halves will solve stickyness problem).
Anyways, mold performs very well. Can't trim this piece yet, still too tacky.
Pulling the main body of the assembly from that mold tomorrow night.

I actually have a billet brake reservior for an 83-85 200x...let me see if I can dig it up and get a few pics of it...

The first rezzy main body got pulled tonight so not much else to do other then assemble one and see if component alignment is correct/no leaks,,, that sorta thing. We used blue food coloring + water for preliminary testing.
This one will go in the display case in the upstairs landing like where most all of our first successful parts pulls go, along with some of the other really KOOL stuff other members hand make.
When she gets another set of parts pulled we will find something/someone to test out the operational side of it.
The hose end is undrilled in the main body so I am able to test out for leakage,,, other wise it would have a drill bit run up it.
The screw holes for mounting the top cap formed out well but one of the long "tits" to block them open come apart from mold so I will get the honor of drilling that out too, probably won't be long before the other "tit" gives up so I will have those to drill out for the phillips head screw/bolts to pass through.
The Mrs. has already seen the drilling process in opening the Tecate coolant over flow + 86 Tri-Z coolant over flow bottles and wants nothing to do with it,,, I keep telling her it all about her confidence level ~ her reply is she is confident I will enjoy doing it
Well, these are now her molds to work with as she pleases. I fully expect to see red top caps since that is her favorite color.
Thanks guys, john + Liway.

Outstanding John!!!...and I just realized this was a rear brake reservior...I have a front one in aluminum.
John, I will test it for ya![]()
I will have no problem testing!My factory unit is perfect though, just a little discolored. If you can make the front res. that would be the ticket!
As usual beautiful work.
