Re: Brake Fluid Reservoir

[Tony Stevens <tony@domain.elided>]

"Accordion Bellows" is the politest description that I've ever heard of
this part!
It is a moisture barrier, designed to let air into the reservoir but not
moisture. A similar fitting was used on the 2600 & disc braked 101
series Giulias & is available from Alfa Stop (www.alfastop.co.uk).
It should be installed open end up.
Customer feedback is that it also prevents brake fluid overflowing from
the reservoir in competition driving.
