<div>The lid with the "wrench fitting" is for the later dual reservoir unit=
 (100-6, 3000). The early Girling single canister, as affixed to the Healey=
 originally had only one bolt bracket attachment thru the firewall, and the=
 later 100s used two bolts. (early shown)&nbsp; I would use what you have =
as there is no replacement today unless you get the Moss repro cap which is=
 not correct for 100. Be sure the vent hole is open-not painted in as it =
functions for air pressure. Hank<br>-------------------- <br><br>From: =

correct with your description of the early reservoir lid. The one in your =
pic (black) appears to be the correct type but the center dome looks to be =
a bit damaged.</div>

were used on the single outlet reservoirs as used on the 100.</div>
