Richard,
So do I. These plastic-reservoir brake master-cylinders were
apparently only fitted to cars destined for continental Europe. Mine
was fitted last year, as it was the only one I could find in a hurry. I
would guess that Daffy's is also not original, as Carly originally had
the cast aluminium m/c shown as standard in most parts catalogues, and
in the "Guide to Originality".
