Front brake sight glass

[curtmixon76]

Please help me, my sight glass is old and seeping brake fluid.
Is there a cure or fix for this?
I looked for just a glass, and came up empty.
I tried to search the threads but I couldn't pull up the search box, so if I'm in the wrong place help me out

You can go to your local jeweler and get a watch crystal, or there are plastic ones online for your use. You can easily remove the old one (save the shiny pieces for re-use), use a good line of epoxy around the perimeter, and that should do it. Some people use a hard-set liquid gasket sealer. There's no real pressure on it. Just make sure the stuff is compatible w/brake fluid.

The 'squid' way was to use a dime, 10 cents for the window, no visual, but hey, lookit the cost!

Please help me, my sight glass is old and seeping brake fluid.

When my break & clutch glass started seeping fluid I just replaced the reservoirs. Cost me some bucks, but it was worth it. :thumbs up:

How about this?
Would this fit?

On a similar vein you can get the oil level window here.

I'd go with that Amazon sight glass....

I just measured the sight glass with my "harbor freight" caliper and it's 17.9mm so I think I'm going with the amazon deal !

I would like to change mine also.. Getting a bit cloudy over the years.. if the diameter is right, the cost on Amazon is not bad.
