Which way is correct for the small stainless part at the bottom of the fluid reservoir where the fluid is drawn into the piston?
I can vaguely remember having trouble with a bike when I fitted this the wrong way round, manuals dont have enough detail to show correct installation. Im assuming the correct way is pushing the claw of the fitting to the bottom of the “intake” hole, and then the other end would be a sort of baffle to slow fluid return, and prevent interference with intake of fluid?
Then… is it the same for brake and clutch m/cyls?
Thanks in advance brains trust- hoping to get the old girl, (bike), actually self propelling tomorrow!
I would press it into the hole with the 3 pins up. The other part is above the hole next to it but has some space.

Depends on the manuals …

Thanks! The R manual pic looks slightly clearer than mine, and the Clymer pic appears to show the tiny lugs standing up, and from the shadow the other section raised.
Cheers
