mildevco Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Looking for a non-leaking brake fluid supply tank for my 1930 Chrysler 66 Roadster. The tank on the car had a leak, and even after stripping, naval jelly, and resoldering the joints, its still leaking. Just a pinhole somewhere, but the paint wrinkled and lifted at the bottom seam, so I'm looking for a replacement. The tank is approx. 3" in diameter and 6" tall, with a screw on cap and a taper compression fitting on the bottom.Looks like the one found here http://forums.aaca.org/topic/252973-30-dodge-da-brake-reservoir-decal/?hl=%2Bdodge+%2Bbrake+%2Breservoir Any leads would be greatly appreciated - I've scoured Ebay, and the rest of the web looking and have yet to find one.Mark 330-882-5950 days330-529-4415 eves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wolfe Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Found the supplier I was looking/talking about. Do a web search for Freund Container & Supply. They have new cans. Let me know if you can't find it. timandjuliawolfe1@roadrunner.com I might order a couple for myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wolfe Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cleaned the bottom of can , flux and solder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildevco Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I ended up buying a can from Freud. The original fittings appeared after taking off all the solder someone used to try and fix the leak. The original fittings use a soft copper crush washer sandwiched between the can and two threaded brass compression parts. I drilled the can, added a new copper crush washer and tightened the fittings down to squash the crush washer. Viola, the can is leak free, fits the original firewall bracket, and looks great. Can cost about $8.00 - I think the shipping was more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
