It proved quite difficult to source some push fit elbows to make it work with a remote reservoir
I thought I found some Jaguar ones that would fit, but it turned out they were too short.
After a bit more searching, I finally found ones that fit perfectly.
It is a plastic elbow from a 1972 VW Beetle. I Got two of them from a site called Megabug, along with the replacement seals. The elbow didn't have a size on the listing on the website, but clearly says it is for a 1972 Beetle. The bottom plug part actually measures 13mm and the hosetail is 8mm.
The seal is the 12mm/22mm (internal/external diameter) one. It is a little shorter than the Rover one I took off, but it has a little bead that sits in a recess inside the inlet of the master cylinder and these are in exactly the same position on both.
I bought two two seals, but only one needed as the seal closest to the servo is a different type as it has a pipe that goes directly in to the servo itself.
Now I have these parts, we can crack on with testing the lines for any leaks.
