After I topped off the MC with brake fluid a black plastic cap floated to the top of the MC. Anybody have any idea what the he11 this frigging thing is?!?! Will try to post a pic in a minute. thanks, Colin 1999 Ford Contour SVT #900/2760 (SOLD) 2005 Mazda 6s 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4

Is the float on the underside of the cap intact? 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

Now to get those frigging calipers back together. [breaths sign of relief] 1999 Ford Contour SVT #900/2760 (SOLD) 2005 Mazda 6s 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4
