Hi all - I had the reservoir (cylinders, etc.) PC'd - while re-assembling, I 
wondered if I was missing any gaskets, washers, etc. (had been some evidence a 
PO had taken apart).

Moss shows it as an assembled unit, and the neither the TR2/3 Parts Catalogue 
and Service Manual I have don't illustrate the later separate reservoir.

I'll describe what I have and the order they came off in, and hopefully 
somebody can tell me if I've got enough bits...

For the main part of the reservoir, (working bottom up) using the slighlty 
angled aperture in the bottom,  reservoir to master cyl. fitting, washer (looks 
like aluminum?), slides up through hole, nut goes on top.

For the internal secondary reservoir, using the flat opening, fitting, washer, 
up through opening, rubber gasket, large washer fits inside gasket hole, 
secondary tube slides down onto fitting, nut on top.

Anything missing? TIA
