I went with the UK set-up because I was restore a car raced in the 60's and=
 I knew it would look the part. I guess it was Revington's and the exchange=
 rate was a lot better then. My previous car, a TR4 hada TR6 master cylinde=
r and it worked fine. Of course it was not bias adjustable and it required =
some reinforcing of the sheet metal mounting area. That may be the easiest =
route.

Moss sells the can for 80 bucks,  revington tr sells an alum can for 84=A3.=

 about 1500 bucks plus shipping.  What is the least expensive way to go tha=

These cans may be available new from the UK. When I bought my dual circuit =
brake setup it came with a brand new can. Seek and ye shall find.

> and find your leak, then solder it.

That in itself is tricky with the original TR3 reservoir.  It's soldered
together (with low temperature 'soft' solder) to begin with.  So bringing
one spot to soldering temperature will soften the adjacent solder joint and
allow it to pull apart, etc.

I gave up and found another one that didn't leak.
