88 80Q brake fluid reservoir cap

[Lloyd McClelland]

My 88 80Q cap cracked  too, leaked fluid all over ,took off some paint. I
got a new cap about 5 months ago from the dealer, they have been redesigned,
changed from the 88 ones  so maybe the new one will last longer, I don't
remember it as being very much $  Lloyd in Eureka, Calif
