welcome mike unless you can find a new lid or a used one thats about the only other choice

Welcome to the forums. You'll probably have to buy a new master cylinder.

Thanks guys for the welcome ... I thought so but it's such a small plastic window I might just try to make something work hate to spend $ 160 for a new one will see how it goes..

I would say a new one is the answer
Welcome to the Family!

You might be able to glue something in there, but finding a glue that would seal and hold up to the brake fluid might be a problem.

Wow, 10 cents versus 160 bucks, not bad shadetree. Now I really know why they call you shadetree, if he doesn't have JB weld couldn't he just use bailing wire and duck tape. LOL.
