The kit is "universal", as is the replacement body (except
you need to use your old clevis).  Do not mix fluids, flush
the whole system out with Girling LMA, which is compatible
with the seals.  Your wide bodied plastic reservoir is the
stock configuration for Tigers, and the seal is not included
in the kit.  Try Sunbeam Specialties.  BTW: Every year or
two, flush the whole braking system and replace with new
fluid.  It removes the absorbed moisture and restores the
high temperature and corrosion properties of the fluid.

Tiger Technologies sells a set of "accordian" bellows seals
for the brake and clutch master cylinder, like American cars
use, to keep the fluid from contact with the air and prevent
moisture absorbtion.  Well worth having, as the original
design allows breathing.
