Help on brake cap with symbol?
I have the typical Sierra brake reservoir This type with the yellow cap in the centre.
 
brakecap
I am trying to discover if there is a Ford centre cap that has the brake fluid symbol on the yellow bit to remove one of the jobs for IVA.
Perhaps another cap may fit I am just not sure, say the mk3 Mondeo one would fit?
I have searched ebay for potential answers looking through the car parts etc. Does anyone know what may do?

draw it on with a cd marker pen. or have a local graphics company print you a sticker
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

can't find any requirement for having a brake symbol marked on it (theres not even a requirement for a brake fluid warning light)
15.
A fluid reservoir cap must be present and secure.
16.
It must be possible to check the fluid relative to the manufacturer’s specified minimum level on all brake fluid reservoirs by the actual fluid level
being visible through a transparent section of the reservoir, with the minimum level marked permanently on to this section. As an alternative, a red
warning lamp (see figure 3) must be capable of illuminating

Hi
Read on ......... 
17.
The type of fluid to be used in the hydraulic transmission of braking systems must be identified in accordance with ISO standard 9128-1987. The
relevant symbol according to Figure 1 or 2 must be affixed in a visible position in indelible form within 100 mm of the filling ports of the fluid
reservoirs, additional information may be provided by the manufacturer.

And .........
19. The hydraulic system must be fitted with a red warning lamp, sensitive to line pressure and capable of signalling the failure of any part of the
hydraulic system as soon as the brake is applied and remaining lit as long as the failure exists (with the ignition switched on). As an alternative,
the warning lamp must be sensitive to the reservoir fluid level, providing the reservoir is directly connected to supply the pressure side of the
master cylinder when the piston is in the “brakes off” position, so that a failure of either part of a split system would result in a continuous
draining of the reservoir fluid when the control is released (see note 2 and 3).
20.
The hydraulic system failure warning lamp must be secure, operational, visible during daylight and darkness from the driving position, identifiable
(i.e. labelled in a recognised form – see diagram 1 for an example) and fitted with a “test facility” that enables its operation to be checked from
the driving position without opening the reservoir.

There's a marketing opportunity for someone to produce decals for brake reservoir, brake fluid etc

Limited market but a market, I will have to check rover and other caps ASAP.

Car Builder Solutions here. Just stick it to the bulkhead within
100mm of the reservoir cap.

I've just put a pdf on the IVA section (can't post attachments in this section) which I hope should be useful to anyone who want's
to DIY their reservoir cap marking.

The way I read that, is that you would need TWO in line pressure switches in your IVA brake system (diagonal split being required now I believe) as
well as the fluid level switch as it is possible to have a failure mode where pressure is lost but not fluid. (Vauxall master cylinder reversed seal
syndrome).
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Diagonal split is NOT required, despite what one of the magazines read the rules to mean.
