I have 61, IIA, 88, LHD.

A couple of months back I lost the clutch and brakes.

Managed to come to a halt and found the single can reservoir empty of fluid but you could still see the fluid in the exit pipe.

I got it towed and they fixed it although they were not very clear on how.

Last week same thing happened. The existing tin can reservoir looks like it could have rusted through but I found little evidence of leakage.

I purchased a replacement reservoir from Atlantic Pacific which has two exit pipes coming out the base.

Because of the additional pipe coming out the bottom and not out of the side of the reservoir the reservoir will sit lower and I will have exit pipes that dip below the brake master cylinder.

Can I use neoprene tubing and clamps as I will have to cut the steel pipes and use both of the ends.

Neoprene will be eaten by the caustic brake fluid I would recommend a tube bender and copper refrigeration tube it is easy to bend and flare
