I believe you can use a spray on cast. The torch is like an oxy cutting torch but with a pot on the top into which you put a powder. The job is heated up with the oxy and when hot, the trigger is pressed on the torch and the powder is sprayed onto the prepaired parts joining them. When finished the part is put into lime to slow the cooling and stop cracking. We had one at an engineering shop I once worked at. A good welding shop would have one. Made by cigweld. Graham

Thanks all. I'll get them Zinc coated. The lids didn't come up to good. Rust holes around the edges, so I'm on the lookout for a couple. I have an old oil tin here and the lid from it fits on to the reservoirs but it is a bit different. I has a straight top without the raised lip and it hasn't got a vent hole. I will post in the wanted section for a couple. I may turn something up. I've had the cylinders sleeved. They look great. I had lots of trouble removing the old pistons. Just couldn't budge them even soaking them and using an ezy out. In the end i just warmed each one up with the oxy around where the piston sat until I could see that the old rubbers were getting hot and gave thump on a piece of timber and presto, out they come. Didn't take much heat at all really. Graham

Hi all, I'm sure someones been down this road before. I've been trying to restore a couple of tin master cylinder reservoirs. I have been able to remove the rust by soaking them in a solution. I have plans of painting the outside, but the inside had a fair bit of rust in places. Will it be ok to leave the inside or will I need to get them plated. If so, what type of plating would be required if any? Graham
