[E-Type] Brake Reserviors

I have followed the thread on using wine corks as floats but I can’t figure
out how to remove the aluminum cylinders that contain the floats. What is
the magic incantation?

…can you say “hack saw”?

Lloyd - For shame on you suggesting such a thing :slight_smile: Anyhow, those little
cylinders are held on to the plastic by several ‘dimples’ pressed into them.
The aluminum is thin enought that you can twist and move them back and forth
such that they will come off. When replacing them, put the dimples where the
indentations are in the plastic and push them further in with a Phillips (or
is it cross-head) screwdriver.

LLoyd -not a day goes by that I don’t learn something on this
