That Piper "Brasso" can also had a "U" shaped piece of 1/8th copper tubing
soldered into the cap to provide a vent.

Since all you want is a reservoir, you can take any barb connection that
will fit, run it uphill to your reservoir. (I think it was Piper or Beech
used to use what looked like old Brasso cans.) Punch small copper tubing
into the bottom of the can, solder it in, and run your filler tubes down to
the barb fitting you installed. If you have a drill press, you might try
putting an almost right size fitting in the drill press, and hold a file
against it to bring it down to size

Bob=2C At some parts stores there are kits to replace bad or rusted bleeder
s. The kit has a bleeder installed in a pipe plug. You can drill a hole=2Ct
ap for pipe thread and install this kit. I used these to move wheel cyl to
higher location. This let me have bleeder at top of caliper. If there is en
ough stock in your caliper=2Cyou could install bleeders at top of caliper w
here it belongs. I think I got these at Autzone or Napa. dennis

Ther are kits to replace bleeders in cars. You have to drill and tap a pipe
thread to install these. I used them to add bleeders when i repositioned
some calipers. they are a bleeder installed in a brass pipe plug. I think I
got them at Autozone Or Napa. Worked cool .. Dennis
