Aaron,
I don't know what a new M/C reservoir should look like, but I just took
the brake M/C off my '74 and there is a 'chip' or notch in the lip of the
M/C at about the 7 o'clock position as viewed from the front. I figure it's
for equalizing air pressure as the M/C piston moves in & out during
operation (or a weep hole for the leaking LMA fluid to flow out of, which is
what mine was doing)
I had hoped to rebuild it, but the bore is pitted - Hope TRF has another
one left...

Glad I wasnt driving. Arrived home to find a package from TRF. My brake MC
had arrived. Opened the package to find the MC covered in spots of oil, or
brake fluid or something with a chip out of the metal lip where the MC mates
to the servo. Took off the cover to the reservoir and found some fluid
(about a tablespoon) inside the reservoir. The plastic cover that goes over
the end of the MC is slightly damaged. It appears that someone dropped the
MC and a chip flew off. Also the outside metal surface isnt exactly bright
and shiny. I am certain the part has to be returned, however I am now
curious if the part wasnt used once and returned before it was shipped to
me. For those of you who have received a new MC before, did it come with a
clean dry reservoir? What condition was the metal on the outside of the MC?
Bright and sh!
> iny or a little dull? Just want to have my ducks in a row when I make my
phone call to TRF. Just a tad bit of frustration here. Thanks for your
help.
