WTD: ford brake resevoir caps
blakep82 - 18/4/12 at 05:44 PM

I've got twin Wilwood master cylinders, and i need fluid level switches.

I believe ford ones are the same fitment.
Does any one have any nice and cheap ford float switches laying about in the garage un-needed?
I need 2 the same please

For a split reserviour system? I was considering these:

I found them in the local scrappy, got the other end of the connectors for the loom too!
Cost a quid each!so i got 3!it took about 3 hours to find 3 matching ones:
had i seem the ones loggyboy found, i wouldnt have bothered!



hindsite is a bitch!

awesome! cheers for that loggy! i'll keep an eye on them, they'd be great, but £1 each sounds better for me atm... will try scrappies tomorrow, see what they got, if nothing, then i'll be after those ones

cheers

Take a plastic bag or something to drop them in as they will have oil in!
just to stop them leaking over your car!

The only bonus with the older ford ones is they use the junior style connectors, making wiring up simple, the new ones i posted have a differnt style that I dont recognise, also I have no idea if they are an identical fit! They just look about right!!

the Seat ones look a bit like superseal connectors as used by Hella and loads of others, but i can't tell really. same with the thread, but you're right, they do look the same. and that seat was the same as the galaxy really wasn't it?
I'll see what i come up with today if i can get out and about lol
