Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Cap

Does anyone have a spare cap they are happy to sell? The electrical contacts on mine have corroded away, although the cap itself is OK.

Or has anybody found an alternative, with the level switch, which fits?

Thanks in advance :)

Mine's done that too. I have resigned myself to glancing at the brake fluid level whenever I open the bonnet, rather than relying on a sensor and warning. That has proven 100% reliable so far!

My Elite replacement fits. Just looking where I got it from

Edit : sourced from a landrover 90 master reservoir 1991

Thanks Richard, Stu, does it look like this? They appear to be similar across many Rovers of that era:

It does look like it. mini's look similar too.
Note you can get the whole land rover master cylinder and reservoir for 50 quid

I bought a Land Rover Defender Reservoir cap after comparing mine with a friend's who has a Defender 110. It fits perfectly. Land Rover part number SJL100200 or equivalent. I'll put a post in the Alternative Parts thread with some photos. The Mini ones looked very similar and were a bit cheaper, but I knew the Land Rover one would fit so went for that. Thanks for the advice, Stu. :)
