I know there has been discussions along these lines before. Recently I began to put a kit through a clutch MC on an FE which insidently has the Tin reservoir. I know Ken has mentioned in the past that the plastic and Tin ones aren't interchangable. However I have come across a different type of Tin reservoir which is different to the ones in the Nasco Parts catalogue and Manual. It is slightly taller but the diameter of the Tin is smaller. The tread of the cap and base are identical to the other. It is Holden as it got holden embosed on the tin. Any suggestions if this is original FE or FC or if not what model it may be off.Just Curious.
Cheers

Rod
PS: Any out there got suggestions on the Low Line Canopy fitting as in a previous post

Rod, I think you will find that HD had slimmer taller tin pots.

Hi Guys,

The taller, thinner tin reservoirs are off EJ, EH & early HD (up to July '65). The pastic type with the squarer thread was used after that, to the end of HR & all replacements since.

There is another reservoir available for the early cylinders, made out of plastic, by a company called ABS. They have a black screw top and seem to be around at swap meets, at least in NSW.

Hope this helps.

Dr Terry.
