I have no idea what the original Lancia Scorpion brake fluid reservoir & bracket look like, so I cannot answer this. If it's the same as on an X1/9, yes. If not, then...it would be up to you to decide.

Ok, let me do some more research. I think they are the same, or similar enough...
EDIT: Found someone doing corrosion-resistant re-pops of the Scorpion units, so I'm going to go with that instead. Thanks!

Hey Jeff is there a BMW lid for these with the level sensor? What model would I look for if there is one available?

A continuation of my previous offering of a relatively inexpensive & easy-to-install alternative brake fluid reservoir assembly to replace the all-too-familiar crack-prone original rectangular X1/9 brake fluid reservoir...
This X1/9 Brake Fluid Reservoir Replacement Kit consists of the following items:
- 1. A modified used BMW plastic brake fluid reservoir (color/tint of the plastic reservoir will vary slightly per piece, sometimes with a slightly more yellow or orange tint than the one shown below - that's just how they are when I get them).
- 2. 1500 style 2-spade float sensor cap with float tube (tube color may vary) or 1300 style plain black cap.
- 3. Clutch fluid reservoir metal adapter plate with metric mounting hardware (this raises the clutch fluid reservoir slightly so the brake hoses can now run beneath it).
- 4. Reservoir rear-to-car body rubber shim strip (to fit reservoir snugly within your original X1/9 brake fluid reservoir bracket).
- 5. Shipping via USPS First Class Mail with Tracking within the USA (International shipping is available at slight additional cost - Canada is about $5 more, while Europe & Australia are about $14 more).
1500 style, unassembled components (shim strip not shown):
1500 style, assembled (shim strip not shown):
I'm currently producing a small batch of 8 kits total, with a targeted completion of all kits by Thursday 4/20/17. If you want one of these, please speak up NOW. When they're sold out, it may be a while until I can make another production run depending on my ability to find good usable conversion cores & the free time I have available to fabricate the kits (they're very time-intensive to make).
The price for each kit is $50 (with USA shipping included), still a bargain compared to what everyone tells me I should be charging for something like this. Payment via Paypal is still my preferred method, thanks.

Asking if your reservoir will fit. Mine looks similar but leaking somewhere as you can see. Cars been out of service for a while. The hose connecunder in the back a d one in the front. Are THESE THE PROPER HOSES to use? Here are some pics. Sorry it needs work.the images have repeated. The web page is not working properly. Thanks
