Top quality work, but why have you decided to move the reservoir from its original location?

Oh, on my RHD Sprint, it's mounted on one of the suspension turrets, using one of the three nuts, not on the bulkhead where yours is.

I wouldn't expect zinc plate to stay polished for very long as zinc oxidizes very easily. This is why zinc is used as a sacrifical anode. When was the last time you saw any shiny galvanized steel (which is zinc plated)?
